WEBVTT - Australian creativity to be protected from AI: Albanese

0:00:02.040 --> 0:00:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Today's biggest news from The Australian. I'm Kristin Amiot with

0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:11.600
<v Speaker 1>the Front's afternoon headlines. Australian artists, writers, journalists and creatives

0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:15.560
<v Speaker 1>will be protected from artificial intelligence giants who want to

0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:19.760
<v Speaker 1>use their work to train large language models without compensation

0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:24.319
<v Speaker 1>or credit. Prime Minister Anthony Albanesi announced on Wednesday he'll

0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:27.840
<v Speaker 1>establish a new Office of AI within his own department

0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:32.479
<v Speaker 1>to consolidate his government's response to AI's meteoric rise.

0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:37.599
<v Speaker 2>Australia will be the first country in the world to

0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:42.680
<v Speaker 2>bring these issues into a single national framework, the PM said.

0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Australian creatives will maintain ownership of their work even as

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:49.720
<v Speaker 1>the AI giants push for a text and data mining

0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 1>exemption from Australian copyright laws.

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:57.440
<v Speaker 2>Our laws will spell that out plain as day. An

0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 2>artist's creative endeavor is their work and their property. No

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:06.399
<v Speaker 2>company should use Australian books, music, art or news to

0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 2>build or train AI without the artist's control, and that

0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:14.759
<v Speaker 2>includes the artist's control of the price and value of

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 2>their work. Anything less is theft. No country has got

0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 2>this right yet.

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:24.679
<v Speaker 1>Addressing concerns about the energy requirements and environmental impacts of

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 1>data centers. Albanezi said the huge facilities will be required

0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.399
<v Speaker 1>to put as much energy back into the grid as

0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:32.119
<v Speaker 1>they take out.

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Will create a legal obligation for the next generation of

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 2>large scale data centers to underwrite new power supply, to

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:45.039
<v Speaker 2>pay their full share of grid connection so no costs

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 2>are passed on to homes or businesses, and to put

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 2>at least as much energy into our grid as they

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 2>take out of it, to be net generators, not net users.

0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 2>To build new renewable generation and firming, to strengthen our

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 2>national energy resilience and ensure that data centers do not

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.959
<v Speaker 2>increase power prices for Austravans.

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>The Prime Minister said the National Cabinet will convene to

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 1>discuss new AI laws soon, with a view to new

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 1>legislation being introduced to the Parliament early next year, but

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Opposition leader Angus Taylor said on Wednesday more bureaucracy by

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 1>the government doesn't address the issues central to the AI revolution.

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Quantus will test a new aircraft specially designed for ultra

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 1>long haul journeys during an historic test flight on July

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty four. The Airbus A three fifty one thousand ULR

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.919
<v Speaker 1>will flight NonStop from Sydney to London from late twenty

0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven, but it'll be put through its paces on

0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 1>the test flight from Toulouse to Melbourne at the end

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 1>of the month. It's been developed to fly for up

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.440
<v Speaker 1>to twenty two hours non stop with a full payload.

0:02:56.960 --> 0:03:00.200
<v Speaker 1>At the moment, the longest commercial flight is operated by

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Singapore Airlines out of Singapore to New York. Conscious is

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 1>so called Project Sunrise. Flight to London pips it by

0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 1>just over an hour, coming in at twenty hours duration.

0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 1>The American football player at the center of a World

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Cup controversy has broken his silence after his team was

0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:23.520
<v Speaker 1>knocked out of the competition. Fluren Bellagan admitted the decision

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>by FIFA to suspend his one match red card band

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 1>following a phone call from President Donald Trump, heaped pressure

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 1>on the co host team ahead of a crucial match.

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.520
<v Speaker 3>My initial reaction was, you know, I was happy to

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:41.400
<v Speaker 3>be back in a team. But when I kind of

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.120
<v Speaker 3>started to reflect, I knew it was going to cause

0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:47.920
<v Speaker 3>a lot of controversy, and I could almost see within

0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 3>my teammates a bit of nerves because it was something

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 3>that's so unique. The closer we got to the game,

0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:58.560
<v Speaker 3>I tried to just focus as best as I could.

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.280

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:13.080
<v Speaker 1>vaunted national gun buyback scheme announced by Prime Minister Anthony
