ARIA released today a new research from RedBridge Group which reveals the vast majority of Australians (78%) would keep the requirement for AI companies to get permission before using Australian creative work, even if some AI companies chose not to train their models in Australia. Just 9% would change the law. 
The poll of 1,524 Australians shows the result holds across every demographic group polled, with no age, gender, income or education group below 65%. It also found that of the 33% who support AI companies training models in Australia, 82% say creators should decide whether their work is used and 71%  would keep the permission requirement. ‼️ 
Other key findings include: ⚡️ The majority of Australians oppose changing copyright law to let AI companies use Australian creative work without permission. ⚡️Three in four Australians (74%) say Australian creators should have the right to decide whether their work is used to train and develop AI models. Only 12% say they should not. ⚡️Four in five Australians (78%) say an AI company claiming national security as a reason should still need permission to use Australian creative work. Only 9% say it should not. ⚡️52% would be more likely to support a political party that keeps the permission requirement, against 14% less likely.  Read more at aria.com.au (link in bio 🔗) #ARIA #AI
