Australia debates AI-training copyright options and protection for creators
On September 15, 2026, ABC reported previously undisclosed Australian copyright consultation options that would let rights holders opt out of AI training. One option would permit use of remaining online material after developers negotiated a minimum quota of licensing deals, without further payments beyond those deals. The attorney-general’s spokesperson said consultation continued on control and compensation; OpenAI confirmed participation. These were reported consultation options, not enacted changes.[1]
In a same-day interview, Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles disputed descriptions of OpenAI’s position as an investment ultimatum. He said Australia could attract AI training while protecting news organisations and creators, and acknowledged that copyright remained an issue under discussion.[2]
