When: 9-9.30am, Friday, November 1
Where: Committee Room 1R3, Parliament House Canberra
Creative and arts workers will tomorrow call on Federal Parliament to introduce strong workplace protections to regulate the use of AI in the creative and media industries.
Members of the Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance will appear before the House of Representatives Inquiry into the Digital Transformation of Workplaces at 9am.
MEAA is calling for an overhaul of workplace laws to ensure creative and media workers can have control over how AI is used in their work and how their data is used by employers. This is because of the increasing threats that AI poses to media and creative workers and, importantly, its devaluing effects on journalism, artistic and creative work and cultural institutions.
MEAA members will also share their experiences and concerns about the use of AI in the workplace which is being used to steal from and devalue the work of performers, crew and technicians, and journalists.
Sophie Parker, the Federal Vice-President of MEAA’s Entertainment, Crew and Sport section who works as a lighting designer and systems engineer, will give evidence alongside voice actor Tom Burt and MEAA political lead Matt Byrne.
