The International Confederation of Music Publishers (ICMP) has accused AI companies of trying to “strong-arm” Australia’s government into loosening the country’s copyright rules on AI training. ICMP warned that, of the dozens of countries AI firms have lobbied for weaker copyright protections, Australia appears to be the only one considering the idea. ICMP Director General John Phelan said AI companies were asking policymakers to “legitimize larceny.”
