Scott Farquhar thinks Australia should let AI train for free on creative content. He overlooks one key point
The article discusses Atlassian founder Scott Farquhar's argument that Australia should adopt US-style copyright law to allow artificial intelligence (AI) to freely use creative content. Farquhar, who is also the CEO of the Tech Council of Australia, believes that the current Australian law, which likely prohibits AI from mining or searching copyrighted data, is hindering investment in the industry. However, the article points out that Farquhar's argument overlooks a key factor: whether the AI's use of the copyrighted content results in something "new and novel." The article outlines the four factors that determine fair use under US copyright law, which include the nature of the copyrighted work and the effect of the use on the market for or value of the copyrighted work. The article suggests that Farquhar's argument may not fully consider these nuances.
