Labor accused of throwing creatives 'under the bus' with proposal to ease copyright protections for AI giants
The Albanese government is considering giving AI companies access to Australian creatives' works by default as it pursues a compromise with US tech giants. "It would mean putting AI companies' interests over everyday Australians, giving AI companies access to all Australians' content, unless they opt out," Pocock said on Tuesday. "The burden should not fall on Australians to defend the rights they already hold over content they create and own and invest in." The proposals were contained in a document Pocock described as screenshots of government's consultation proposals, tabled in the Senate on Tuesday and titled "AI on Australian Terms". The document raises as a key issue the vast number of small individual creators of online content, for which voluntary deals with AI companies "is not realistic/possible".
Thirteenth Met Police officer sacked after Charing Cross Panorama film
Another Metropolitan Police officer has been dismissed following BBC Panorama's undercover investigation into the force's Charing Cross station. PC Mason O'Connor was sacked after a hearing found he had breached standards of professional behaviour, relating to a comment he made to a female colleague, the Met said. O'Connor was reported to a proactive wider investigation following the broadcast of the programme in October 2025 and he has become the 13th officer to be sacked since then, the force added. Other officers who were covertly filmed for the documentary were seen calling for immigrants to be shot, boasting about excessive use of force and joking about rape and sexual assault. O'Connor's dismissal relates to a comment he is alleged to have made to a female colleague while off-duty in a pub in October 2024.

'I created my mom and talk to her': AI ghosts and deathslop are changing the way we mourn'Is AI keeping us from getting the social support that we need?' asks Dr Dan Wolfson. The rise of AI-generated tributes and bots for'talking' to the dead has experts concerned more people will grieve in isolation T ributes rolled in after the death of Dolly Parton last month.

The Download: AI doomers, whistleblowing agents, and de-aged livers
Plus: Trump has called AI safety fears a "hoax" and rejected more safeguards. The AI industry has taken a doomer turn. AI chiefs Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Demis Hassabis are suddenly all in agreement: the latest generation of LLMs aren't safe and everyone needs to figure out what to do about it. It's easy to be cynical. With trillion-dollar IPOs in their sights, OpenAI and Anthropic need to reassure investors that they're the grown-ups in the room while at the same time hinting at the power of the monsters they have created and intend to tame. Calling for a slowdown does both.
