Major academic publishers are striking multimillion-dollar deals to license research papers and scholarly books for AI training, often without consulting authors or sharing the profits. In this 60-minute workshop, we will explore how copyright law interacts with publishing agreements, why paywalled publishing likely won’t shield your work from being used for AI training, and how open access and fair use can empower AI development that supports research and learning.

Copyright lawyer and Executive Director of Authors Alliance, Dave Hansen, will lead the workshop. Authors Alliance has been a leader in supporting the research community in navigating the law of text data mining and artificial intelligence for research and learning.

Sponsor: This workshop is sponsored by the Authors Alliance and hosted by UC San Diego Library.
