ABC tells Australian AI inquiry its content was likely scraped

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation told a parliamentary inquiry that AI companies have probably already trained on its content. ABC favors licensing deals over an opt-out model and opposes shifting the burden to rights holders. OpenAI and Anthropic urged Australia to relax copyright rules for training on local content.

• ABC: no conclusive evidence of scraping, but it is likely
• ABC opposes opt-out model, citing inability to search the whole web
• OpenAI and Anthropic seek looser Australian copyright rules
• Anthropic open to laws requiring AI firms to report breaches
