09:00 – 10:30 CEST

Panel:
Scholarly Publications, Ownership and AI: Publishers selling content to LLM creators

A new revenue stream for Publishers is to sell papers and books to companies who use them to train large language models (LLMs). Revenue can be substantial, per Ithaka S+R’s tracker [1], showing how much money publishers are making.

Some authors do not believe that deals with AI companies are consistent with author agreements when large language models were not around when they signed contracts with them [2]. With this panel, we would like to look at different aspects and give room to different views on authors’ rights, intellectual property regarding LLMs/ AI-systems, and who benefits from these deals.
