Music body: AI already trained on Kylie Minogue songs without payment

The International Confederation of Music Publishers says AI models have been trained on works by Australian artists including Kylie Minogue and Nick Cave without compensation. The ICMP accused tech firms of strong-arming Australia into weakening copyright law, warning that of 62 countries approached, only Australia is considering it.

• ICMP says Gemini reproduced lyrics by Minogue, G-Flip and Cave
• A dataset of over 12m YouTube songs included Australian artists' tracks
• Of 62 countries, only Australia is weighing a copyright exception for AI
• Anthropic and OpenAI told the committee they are not dictating terms
