Stop Meta’s AI theft
Because of Australia’s weak laws, Meta is able to scrape users’ public posts on Facebook and Instagram to train their AI technology.
This means that all the photos, videos, and text that you have posted to Facebook and Instagram as part of your work can be used to train their AI technology without consent or compensation.
This constitutes the theft of past and future work, and our laws are currently too weak to stop them.
We need governments to act now to put in place strong and enforceable legislative protections for creative and media workers.
Governments must:
• Give users the power to opt-out of having their work used for training AI.
• Legislate to force companies to compensate creative and media workers for the work that has been used to train AI.
• Enact rules around transparency forcing companies to publicly disclose what materials they’ve used to train AI.
We need all creative and media workers to join with us to fight for strong legal protections so you are paid for your work and can control how your work is being used by AI.
