The Guardian reveals that Coalition senators, the recording industry and constitutional expert Anne Twomey have warned that letting AI firms scrape copyrighted material under an opt-out model, as proposed by Anthropic, could amount to a government acquisition of property requiring "just terms" compensation under section 51 of the constitution, ahead of a looming federal AI policy announcement.
