British celebrities win copyright fight against AI companies, warn Australia

Original: British celebrities beat AI companies lobbying to get free use of their work. They have a warning for Australia

British celebrities, including prominent artists and performers, have successfully lobbied against proposals that would allow AI companies to freely use their creative work for training. Their campaign, backed by The Guardian's reporting, blocked changes to UK copyright rules. Now they are warning Australian policymakers not to adopt similar exemptions that could undermine creators' rights.

Why now: Governments including Australia's are weighing how copyright law should apply to AI training, and the UK outcome sets a precedent creators want to export.
