Creative Sector Urges New Zealand Government to Draw Line on AI and Copyright

New Zealand's creative sector is actively urging the government to draw a clear line regarding artificial intelligence and copyright protections. This urgent call comes as millions of songs, books, and artworks have already been utilized overseas to train various AI technologies.[1][2]

The nation must now decide whether its current copyright laws will permit the same AI training practices to occur within its borders. Creative professionals are arguing that artists deserve to be granted consent, proper credit, and fair compensation when their intellectual property is used.[1][2]
