Compensating creators while unlocking AI training in Australia

The latest concrete development is a June 22, 2026 policy proposal arguing for an AI training permit in Australia that would let entities train AI domestically in exchange for a fee paid into consolidated revenue, with the aim of compensating creators while permitting training activity. The proposal is framed as an answer to the unresolved copyright and licensing dispute around AI training, while creator groups continue to press for mandatory authorisation and payment for use of their works.
