Episode Synopsis

Seventy-one percent of MEAA members are deeply concerned about AI replacing human-led creativity. MEAA is campaigning for strong regulation through an Australian AI Act and for big tech to pay a levy for using artists’ work to train AI. Join MEAA’s Policy team, Lilia Anderson and Matt Byrne and Industrial Officers Miles Hunt and Tess Chappell with MEAA President, Michael Balk chairing, for a vital briefing on AI and performers. They’ll unpack how AI threatens the creative industries, the risks for performers, how MEAA is pushing governments and companies to act, and what safeguards could protect your image, voice and data.
