Major book publishers quietly adopt AI despite copyright concerns
Original: Three major book publishers using AI behind the scenes & forcing staff to use it, despite AI companies literally stealin
A report indicates three of the biggest book publishers are using artificial intelligence in their operations and requiring staff to work with it, even as the publishing industry sues AI companies for training models on copyrighted books without permission. Critics see a contradiction: publishers accuse AI firms of stealing authors' work while embracing the same technology internally.
Why now: The irony of publishers litigating against AI over stolen books while mandating AI use internally is drawing criticism.
