The Association of University Presses submitted comments to the UK Consultation on Copyright and AI.
As a global community of mission-driven publishers, the Association asserts that current copyright laws protect the rights holder from the unauthorized use of their work and should be upheld. Legal changes should not be made that make it harder for individuals to protect their work yet easier for companies to obtain copyrighted content.
The Association has also joined the Creative Rights in AI Coalition which supports similar goals, articulated in its “Make It Fair” campaign today.
March 15, 2025: The Association submitted summary comments on the US AI Action Plan to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. In these comments, AUPresses also expressed support for comments made by the American Association of Publishers.
