AI Training and Aussie Creators

Senator David Pocock is sounding the alarm over tech giants using Australian content to train AI without fair compensation, urging the government to act before July 15th. He’s pushing for safeguards that protect creators and ensure Australia doesn’t become a tech colony — advocating for new copyright rules, local data centers, or licensing models to keep control over our digital future. While Minister Tim Ayres dismisses the proposals as reckless and vows to protect copyright, Pocock points out the government hasn’t shut the door. Meanwhile, voices are calling for a pause on new data centers until regulations are ironed out — arguing we must prioritize artists, energy, and water before building more infrastructure. This isn’t just about AI — it’s about Australia’s future in the global tech race. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
