Book restorers push back against AI-driven destruction of old volumes
Original: Restoring old books is an art with a sense of mission. Much better than destroying them for the benefit of AI # Wainwrig
Book conservation specialists are highlighting the craft of restoring antique volumes, describing bookbinding repair as an art carried out with a sense of mission. The discussion contrasts careful restoration with the practice of destroying old books to harvest data for artificial intelligence, arguing preservation serves readers and history far better. Museum and bookbinding communities are amplifying the message.
Why now: Ongoing debate over whether old books should be preserved or dismantled to feed AI training data.
