Labor MP Ed Husic has issued a strong warning against allowing AI companies to self-regulate, stating that such an approach is "doomed to failure" and calling on his colleagues to enforce stricter rules. Speaking ahead of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's major speech on artificial intelligence, Husic criticized any moves to weaken copyright law for the benefit of firms like OpenAI and Anthropic, arguing it would violate Labor's principles of fair compensation. He emphasized that governments must step in, drawing a parallel to emissions reduction, where waiting for industry social licence proved ineffective.
