## Resource

Senator David Pocock is sounding the alarm as Australia’s government explores sweeping copyright changes that could let AI giants like OpenAI train their models on local content without explicit permission — putting Aussie creators at risk unless they opt out. While officials tout economic gains and fair deals, artists, writers, and musicians fear their work will be devalued and their livelihoods undermined. The proposed shift would potentially extend access to non-members through industry agreements, sparking fierce debate over whether tech progress should come at the cost of creative rights — all while the government insists it wants to protect creators’ interests, just not at the expense of innovation.
