HarperCollins Announces Agreement to Sell Authors' Works to AI Company
One of the big players in the global publishing world, HarperCollins, has recently caused quite a stir in the industry. They've quietly teamed up with a mysterious "artificial intelligence technology company" and made a controversial agreement. What's the agreement? In simple terms, it allows this company to use some of the copyrights from non-fiction books, within certain limits, to train AI models. They say it's like giving these "smart brains" a boost, as if hiring knowledgeable "tutors" for the AI to improve its quality and performance.
