Productivity Commission considers a copyright exception for AI companies and awards season in Darwin

Last week, the productivity commission published their interim report on Harnessing data and digital technology. Among the ideas under consideration is a 'fair dealing exception' that would cover the text and data mining that is used to train generative AI models.The creative sector has been swift and vocal in their feedback, with key organisations across the country rejecting the idea. Professor Stephen King, one of the report's authors explores the thinking that informed the suggestion. And Simon Kennedy, president of The Australian Association of Voice Actors & Nicholas Pickard, executive director of public affairs and government relations at APRA AMCOS share the industry's response.And it's awards season in Darwin, with major prizes in visual art, music and fashion awarded over the last week. Rudi Bremer, the host of RN's Awaye, was on the ground and she brings us all the details and the action from this celebration of First Nations art.Our track of the week is Didn't Play Mull of Kintyre by Jerrah Patston
