Summary
Bernard Fanning of Powderfinger is sounding the alarm on AI’s unchecked plunder of Australian music, warning that vast AI models are trained on our songs without consent or pay — a betrayal of artists and culture. As the federal government reportedly negotiates deals with tech giants for AI access to Aussie creative works, Fanning calls it a “dirty deal” that trades artistic integrity for cash, risking the erosion of authentic human storytelling. He’s not just talking about royalties — it’s about respect, ownership, and who gets to define Australia’s musical soul.
