Senators say generative AI represents 'unprecedented theft' and must be forced to pay creators for their work

Generative artificial intelligence tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT should be deemed "high-risk" under dedicated legislation that could enable the most dangerous technologies to be banned, a bipartisan committee recommends. It says AI companies have also committed "unprecedented theft" against creative workers and a fair compensation system should be developed.

In short:

A dedicated artificial intelligence (AI) act should be created that can regulate the most high-risk technologies, a bipartisan committee has agreed.

It also accused tech giants of stealing from Australian creators, and urged the government to develop a scheme to ensure fair remuneration when creative work is used by AI tools.

What’s next?

The federal government is developing a model to address high-risk AI technology.
