Rupert Murdoch Joins Artists Against AI Copyright Use

Billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch has teamed up with prominent artists, including Thom Yorke and Kevin Bacon, to confront artificial intelligence companies over unauthorized use of their intellectual property. This week, more than 25,000 creatives issued a statement denouncing the use of their works for AI training without permission, which they argue poses a serious threat to their livelihoods. Murdoch has already initiated legal action against the AI-powered search engine Perplexity for allegedly copying content from his publications. This movement follows a larger trend of artists and writers suing tech firms for data misuse, with several lawsuits currently in the courts. Meanwhile, a new study reveals that AI is increasingly being adopted by Australian creators, with many using tools like ChatGPT to enhance their content creation processes. Despite the growing integration of AI, creators emphasize the importance of maintaining authenticity in their work.
