- Anthropic urged Australia to consider "conditional approval" for Big Tech to train on copyrighted works, with copyright holders given the choice to opt out rather than grant permission upfront
- ABC and SBS pushed back, saying AI technology should be subject to media bargaining arrangements, while Anthropic framed the technology as something that could transform the economy
Why it matters: Anthropic is pitching Australia's regulators on a train-first-ask-later model that puts the burden on creators, while the country's two public broadcasters want AI training gated by media-bargaining deals — making Australian copyright law the next battleground over who pays for the data feeding generative AI.
