Heavy, because it sits at the intersection of three regimes:

  • Indigenous cultural/IP: ICIP protocols (TEK usually isn't copyright-protected → handled by contract + protocol), FPIC, secret/sacred screening, moral rights/attribution, Nagoya/ABS benefit-sharing, AIATSIS Code of Ethics.
  • Privacy/data: Privacy Act + APPs (race/ethnicity = *sensitive* info; voice can be biometric), data residency under Indigenous control, Notifiable Data Breaches, 2024–25 reforms (privacy tort + ADM transparency).
  • AI: Voluntary AI Safety Standard guardrails (likely "high-risk"), explainability, explicit training-data licensing in community agreements.
  • Contracts: airtight upstream (community) ↔ downstream (corporate) licensing chain with flow-down, liability caps, PI insurance.
  • ESG/greenwashing: ASIC/ACCC enforce aggressively — position as decision-support, mandatory human review, substantiate any carbon/biodiversity claim.
