SAVE THE AI DESTRUCTION OF BOOKS

[JUNE SAMARAS]

 

 I HAVE RECEIVED LONG LISTS OF BOOKS  FROM                                                                                      AN AGENCY APPARENTLY ACTING ON  BEHALF OF

 A MAJOR COMPANY ASSEMBLING BOOKS  TO

 PROCESS THEIR CONTENT INTO AI PROGRAMMES

      THEN THOSE BOOKS GET DISPOSED OF  

 Inside an AI start-up’s plan to scan and dispose of millions of books

Court filings reveal how AI companies raced to obtain more books to feed                             chatbots, including by buying, scanning and disposing of millions of titles.

CURRENTLY  MORE THAN 100 BOOKS IN GREEK AND A

DOZEN OTHER LANGUAGES HAVE BEEN REQUESTED

 MANY OF THEM RELATIVELY UNCOMMON IN WORLDCAT

THAT I DO NOT WISH SEE EXPLOITED AND DESTROYED

 I WOULD MUCH PREFER THEY FIND  A PERMANENT HOME

 RATHER THAN PROFITING FROM THEIR OBLITERATION.   

  

   THE LIST BELOW HAS BEEN  CONDENSED TO JUST

           AUTHORS TITLES AND ISBN NUMBERS

         TO MAKE QUICK SEARCHING EASIER
