Research Insights #12: Copyrights and Academia — from aiedusimplified.substack.com by Lance Eaton
Scholarly authors are not going to be happy…
A while back, I wrote about some of my thoughts on generative AI around the copyright issues. Not much has changed since then, but a new article (Academic authors ‘shocked’ after Taylor & Francis sells access to their research to Microsoft AI) is definitely stirring up all sorts of concerns by academic authors. The basics of that article are that Taylor & Francis sold access to authors’ research to Microsoft for AI development without informing the authors, sparking significant concern among academics and the Society of Authors about transparency, consent, and the implications for authors’ rights and future earnings.
The stir can be seen as both valid and redundant. Two folks’ points stick out to me in this regard.
