The Albanese government is considering giving AI companies access to Australian creatives’ works by default as it pursues a compromise with US tech giants.

The proposals were revealed as senior personnel from OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, met with Labor ministers and warned that Australia’s copyright laws were preventing the company from training models locally.

The independent senator David Pocock said the compromise would throw protections for creatives and copyright holders “under the bus” in pursuit of datacentre funding.

“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.

So the paper in question had multiple suggestions/options. I can only guess, because the article doesn't say, that there was a range from most lenient to most restrictive. Each with the foreseen pros and cons. All of this information will be used in drafting any law changes. Because this is how the Gov works...
Then the most lenient are cherry picked to be leaked to the media...
