Open Access Week 2024: Publishing and Licensing Choices that Support Research in an AI World, with Rachel Samberg
Open Access Week 2024: Publishing and Licensing Choices that Support Research in an AI World, with Rachel Samberg
Celebrate Open Access Week with the JH Libraries and JHU Research Administration! In this webinar, Rachel Samberg, program director of scholarly communication and information policy at UC Berkeley, will explore the dual role scholarly authors have in contemplating the use of AI in research as both users of other people’s content, and creators of new content themselves.
If you're nervous about understanding copyright issues when using new AI tools in your research, don't miss this informative presentation!
Some of the questions Sandberg will address include:
- How do publishing and licensing choices affect the way in which works can be used in other scholars’ AI-dependent research, and the way that other people’s works can be used in a scholar's own AI-dependent research?
- Is there a one-size-fits-all solution for handling copyright and licensing?
- What publishing and licensing models—and importantly, what kind of federal statutes and regulations—are advisable to support academic research in an AI world?
Open Access Week 2024, October 21-27, will continue the call to put “Community over Commercialization” and prioritize approaches to open scholarship that serve the best interests of the public and the academic community.
