AI now touches every part of the creative lifecycle – how works are made, shared, discovered, and, at times, used to improve AI products and productivity without permission.

Join our lunchtime webinar on Thursday 20 November to explore how creators can strengthen protection across this cycle while still using AI to reduce repetitive tasks and enhance discovery.

Webinar Details:

Title: No Single Fix: Understanding Collective Protection for Creative Works
Host: Nicola Grayson, Head of Public Affairs, Creative Australia
Guest Speaker: Dr Liming Zhu, Acting Director, Software and Computational Systems, CSIRO’s Data61
Date: Thursday 20 November 2025
Time: 12-1pm (AEDT)
Format: Online via Zoom, RSVP via button

The session will include:

• Techniques that make artworks impossible for AI to learn from
• Watermarking and provenance systems that record how and when works were created
• Tools that detect whether content was made by a person or by AI –  and even which AI
• The trade-offs between protection, usability, and accountability.

You will also learn how CSIRO is inventing new protection mechanisms and studies these trade-offs scientifically to understand how each protection works, where it fails, and how they can complement one another. This research helps creators and policymakers identify the most effective mix of techniques to support a fair, transparent, and responsibly innovative creative ecosystem.

Guest Speaker: Dr Liming Zhu is Acting Director at CSIRO’s Data61 and Conjoint Professor at UNSW. A world-leading expert in AI engineering and safety, he represents Australia in key international working groups. He leads a major research division driving innovation across AI, digital trust, quantum software, blockchain, privacy, and cybersecurity.
