Paul Deegan: Canada's 'AI for All' plan must safeguard journalism copyright against Big Tech exploitation
By
Special to National Post
Summary
Paul Deegan argues that Canada's proposed "AI for All" framework must include strong copyright protections for Canadian journalism. Without such safeguards, Big Tech companies can freely scrape and repackage news content without consent or payment, undermining the viability of the news industry. Deegan emphasizes that AI companies should be required to negotiate fair licensing agreements with publishers, similar to frameworks being developed in other jurisdictions like Australia and the EU.
