Silicon Valley giant Meta has announced that from June 26, they are changing their user policy which will allow them to scrape any data, text, photos and videos posted to Facebook and Instagram since 2007 to train their AI technology.

This means that for you and every worker in the media, entertainment and arts industries, all of the photos, videos and text that you might have posted to Facebook and Instagram as part of your work might be used to train their AI technology without consent or compensation.

In our view this constitutes the theft of past and future work, and threatens the viability of Australia’s creative and cultural workforce.

Unlike some other parts of the world including Europe, Australia’s laws do not give users control over what happens to the things they post onto social media platforms.

Facebook and Instagram users in Australia face a stark choice: stop using these popular platforms and risk losing exposure to audiences, or to accept the new terms in the knowledge that they face having their work scraped and used to train Meta’s AI technology.

We need governments to act now to put in place strong and enforceable legislative protections for creative and media workers.

Join the fight for strong legal protections against AI theft of creative work.

I'm a little behind with this post, but here's what week 2 of life on the road with Regional Arts NSW looked like! Thank you Edna Boey from Regional Arts NSW for the fantastic pictures of me... it's easy to forget to be in the pictures when you are behind the camera! And thank you Tracey Callinan, CEO of Regional Arts NSW, and Edna for being the best road trip buddies. Now the real work of editing begins...

Week one of 2wks on the road with Regional Arts NSW done! Thank you Coffs Harbour, Tamworth and Orange for showing me your best and most creative sides.

I have met and interviewed some of the most amazing, women who live and work in regional NSW. Producing art can be an incredibly personal thing. I am so grateful for the opportunity to listen to some of the amazing, creative journies these women have been on, and see, hear and feel their beautiful work.

International Womans Day seems like a great day to let everyone know about my new project with Regional Arts NSW . Over the next few weeks I will be traveling all over regional NSW and filming women who work in the arts. These women and myself have been taking part in the Work of Art Program, which is designed to elevate female and non-binary arts practitioners voices.
