Kyobo rejects suspicious 100,000-book order amid AI copyright fears
South Korean bookstore chain Kyobo has turned down an order for 100,000 books that it considered suspicious, with concerns about AI copyright infringement cited. The bulk purchase reportedly raised fears that the books could be used to train or build artificial intelligence datasets without proper licensing. The move highlights growing anxiety among publishers and retailers over unauthorized large-scale copying of copyrighted works for AI development.
Why now: AI firms' hunger for training data is raising copyright concerns across the publishing industry, making this refusal a talking point.
