Kate Gilchrist

Head of Content Legal and Legal Operations at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).

An opt-out system as proposed by AI companies places burdens and costs on rights holders, as it would require ongoing surveillance to see whether copyright material is being used. We cannot scour the internet and ensure we are opting out on all of those different sites of publication. It simply does not work.
