The fight against AI copyright protections | Music News

from Homebrewed: An Australian Music Podcast

This week we're turning our attention to the ongoing AI debate. AI companies want to mine text and data from music to train their models, while artists like Jack River are campaigning in Canberra for more copyright protections.We discuss why AI-generated music playlists are bad for Australian music discovery, before turning out attention to Anthropic's recent visit to Australia, including a deal signed with the Federal Government.We then look at how AI companies are wanting to disregard Australian copyright law, and why it's important for our Government to stick to their AI plan, and evolve with it.Chapters:00:00 Introduction00:58 Painting the Mural01:30 Personal Updates and Health Tips03:39 Shoutout to Kalani Artis for Australian Idol Finale08:33 Are AI Playlists Killing Aus Music?18:10 Anthropic's Meeting with Australian Government22:57 Future of AI and Music in Australia34:06 Business Council of Australia's Proposal50:38 Could More Have Been Done?Thanks for listening!
