Shocked to discover that my research has been included in the database to train AI by Meta. No one's asked for my permission. We need better policy and legislation to monitor AI and respect our rights as authors. Thanks to @alcs.co.uk and @theatlantic.com for raising awareness
Our comment on Meta's use of LibGen, a notorious database of pirated content 👇 www.alcs.co.uk/news/alcs-co...
