AI Firms Steal Books in Paper Crisis
Major technology companies are moving towards eradicating millions of printed books, especially those published before 2022, to use them as a primary source for training artificial intelligence models. This effort is driven by the high purity of their textual content compared to contaminated electronic sources. These books are quickly and secretly purchased, then their covers are removed, pages are cut out, and they are digitized through ultra-fast scanning tools before being discarded. The goal is to obtain clean, inexpensive data. This approach is believed to threaten the loss of rare historical copies and to transform human intellectual content into code controlled by a limited number of corporations, putting the future of texts and cultural works at stake.
