Anthropic pushes for opt-out model for Australian content as ABC warns of 'cannibalisation' of news

Anthropic pushes for opt-out model for Australian content as ABC warns of'cannibalisation' of news But Australia's public broadcasters, the ABC and SBS, have strongly criticised AI firms, calling on the government to enact strict new rules to compensate media organisations and protect public interest journalism. Everything Australians put online could be scraped for AI under proposed new rules. How will you be affected? The ABC and SBS also suggested the government include AI companies in the news bargaining incentive, which would require them to make commercial deals with large media outlets to support journalism. "As publishers, AI-based services are currently unregulated and receive more favourable treatment than established Australian media. This unequal treatment will accelerate the cannibalisation of the Australian news industry," the ABC said in its submission.
