Excerpt from the "Author Rights Under ACM Open": "A separate grant of rights to ACM covers what ACM, as the Publisher, may do with the work, which includes [...] the right to license the Work to third parties, such as for training by LLMs, and [...]"
We are opening a consultation on the inclusion of ACM publications within AI licensing agreements for access and training purposes. We have published this piece as to why we believe it is the right time now to enter into these discussions. buff.ly/VTatuda
