Oxford opens Bodleian Library collection to OpenAI
Original: Oxford lets OpenAI train its AI models on Bodleian Library
The University of Oxford has agreed to let OpenAI train its AI models on material from the Bodleian Library, one of the oldest and largest libraries in Europe. The deal gives the AI company access to centuries of rare books and manuscripts, sparking debate among researchers, authors and archivists over cultural heritage being used to power commercial AI systems.
Why now: People are debating whether a historic public library should licence its collections to a commercial AI company.
