I wrote a nonfiction book many years ago that continues to sell fairly well. Recently my publisher contacted me to say that they had been “approached by companies involved in the development and provision of generative AI technologies wishing to license our content.” Because of that they felt “there are compelling reasons to engage with such AI-related licensing opportunities.” It is an opt-in arrangement, so I do not have to agree to do this. I am not onboard with AI; my feeling is that when it comes to the arts especially, it degrades what writers, artists, and musicians do. But my sense is that material from my book will be used via AI one way or the other, and my publisher says this arrangement will strengthen the “opportunities and mitigates some of the risks of generative AI technologies by upholding copyright, fostering innovation, supporting the accuracy and integrity of academic research and providing additional income for rights holders.” Before I sign onto this, I was wondering if anyone with experience in this area would be willing to lend some insight.
