To make generative AI tools (genAI) work as well as possible, tech companies have chosen to train their large language models (LLMs) on large amounts of text, even though doing so could run afoul of copyright laws.
Most recently, book publisher Penguin Random House has chosen to include a warning in its books stating the content may not be used or reproduced for the purpose of training AI models. And, according to The Bookseller, the AI warning will not only be added to new books but also to reprints of older titles.
The move is likely to spur more publishers to follow suit with similar warnings to their books.
