MEAA Urges AI Regulation to Protect Australian Creativity and Jobs Amid Rising Misuse Concerns
June 3, 2024
The Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance (MEAA) is advocating for AI regulation in Australia.
Concerns include misinformation, theft of creative work, and job losses in creative fields.
A survey revealed widespread anxiety among creative professionals about AI's impact, particularly due to lack of transparency in AI models.
Incidents of misuse, such as fake Indigenous artworks and voice cloning, have already occurred in Australia.
The MEAA, along with the Australian Association of Voice Actors, submitted recommendations to the Senate's AI inquiry.
They emphasize the need to protect artists and journalists from AI theft and ensure ethical use of AI technology.
The regulation is seen as urgent to safeguard creative professions and preserve Australia's unique culture.
