HarperCollins has reached an agreement with an artificial intelligence technology company to allow limited use of select nonfiction backlist titles for training AI models. This initiative aims to improve model quality and performance while offering opportunities to authors, respecting their choice to opt in or pass.
While we believe this deal is attractive, we respect the various views of our authors. They have the choice to opt in to the agreement or to pass on the opportunity, indicating our commitment to author empowerment.
HarperCollins has a long history of innovation and experimentation with new business models. Part of our role is to present authors with opportunities for their consideration while protecting their works and shared revenue.
This agreement has a limited scope and clear guardrails around model output that respects authors' rights. We aim to balance innovation with the protection of intellectual property and royalty streams.
