ON TOMORROW!

Big Tech’s AI revolution is built on theft - the unauthorised use of work by musicians, writers, journalists and artists, as well as the exploitation of personal data. Now, the Productivity Commission is proposing a “right to mine data” for AI companies, threatening the rights of Australian creatives and the privacy of all citizens.

Join us for an online town hall to discuss this critical moment for the future of our creative rights.

Featuring an expert panel including Professor Toby Walsh (leading AI researcher and author), Peter Garrett (musician, activist and former Midnight Oil frontman), Lizzie O’Shea (Chair of Digital Rights Watch) and Claire Pullen (CEO of the Australian Writers’ Guild and AWG Collecting Society).

When: Tuesday 12 August, 1pm AEST
