Penguin Random House (PRH),real father and daughter sex partners video the largest of the Big Five publishing imprints, is pushing back against its published works being used to train AI.
As first reported by The Bookseller, PRH has changed its copyright wording to target AI. The new rules state that "no part of this book may be used or reproduced in any manner for the purpose of training artificial intelligence technologies or systems." This statement will appear in all new titles across PRH's imprints, as well as reprints of backlist titles.
PRH's changing of its copyright wording to combat AI training makes it the first of the Big Five publishers to take such an action against AI, at least publicly. Mashable has reached out to the remaining Big Five trade publishers — Hachette, HarperCollins, Macmillan, and Simon & Schuster — for comment.
