Open AI breaks ranks with Tech Council of Australia over heated copyright issue
"Lehane told the audience: No we are going to be in Australia, one way or the other. Lehane said countries generally chose one of two positions when it came to copyright restrictions and AI. One was to take a US-style fair use approach to copyright, allowing for the development of frontier (highly advanced, large-scale) AI, while the other was to maintain a historic position on copyright, limiting AI's scope."
"We will engage in either country we will find ways to work with those who want to build up big frontier models and have robust ecosystems, or those who just want to have much more narrowly defined AI, he said. We will work with them under either scenario, regardless. When questioned about Sora 2 Open AI's new video-generating model being launched and monetised before copyright use had been ironed out, he said the company was benefiting everyone. This is the nature of how technology works."
OpenAI will operate in Australia irrespective of local copyright restrictions and will engage with jurisdictions under whichever regulatory approach they adopt. Countries typically choose either a US-style fair use model that enables large-scale frontier AI or a historic copyright stance that limits AI capabilities. OpenAI intends to work with partners building large frontier models as well as with those preferring narrowly defined AI. The Productivity Commission is examining exemptions for text and data mining to train models. Industry voices warn current copyright rules deter investment and datacentre development. OpenAI has launched models before copyright frameworks were finalised, framing innovation as preceding societal adaptation.
