随着澳大利亚主要政党倾向于达成版权协议，版权所有者正在进行后卫战。堪培拉——根据一项最新民调，澳大利亚选民更倾向于修改版权法，为创意人士提供一定补偿，而不是让人工智能公司在海外训练其模型时搭便车。
Rights-holders are fighting a rearguard action as Australia’s major parties lean toward copyright deal CANBERRA – Australian voters would prefer changes to copyright law that deliver some compensation to creatives rather than free-riding by AI companies training their models offshore, according to a new poll.
一项针对1500人的YouGov民调由研究公众对人工智能态度的战略咨询机构Diffusion委托开展，该民调进一步呼应了一项两党人工智能议会调查的要求，该调查敦促总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯做出修改，以帮助那些希望在澳大利亚训练其模型的人工智能公司。
A YouGov poll of 1,500 people, commissioned by Diffusion, a strategy practice that researches public attitudes to AI, adds to calls from a bipartisan parliamentary inquiry into AI urging Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to make changes to help AI companies who want to train their models in Australia.
包括绿党和独立参议员大卫·波考克在内的跨党派议员愤怒地拒绝了所谓“各方对修改版权法达成共识”的说法。版权所有者组织警告称，澳大利亚面临着成为人工智能在没有得到适当补偿的情况下吞噬版权材料的洗钱前哨站的风险。
Crossbench parliamentarians, including the Greens and independent senator David Pocock, have angrily rejected claims there is a consensus in favor of changing copyright law. Rights-holder organizations warn that Australia risks becoming an outpost for laundering copyrighted material ingested by AI without proper compensation.
周二，人工智能联合常设委员会致信阿尔巴尼斯，警告称“目前的版权安排并未促进针对澳大利亚文化和内容的许可协议”。该委员会表示，现状意味着创意和媒体公司的作品“在海外被使用，却没有得到足够的控制或报酬”。
On Tuesday the Joint Standing Committee on Artificial Intelligence wrote to Albanese warning that “current copyright arrangements are not facilitating licensing deals for Australian culture and content.”The status quo, it said, means creatives and media companies’ work is being “used overseas without adequate control or payment.”
