The way it was worded, and I’m an intelligent person, you would not have understood it without having it explained.” “We got one email about the loss of accreditation. “I didn’t realize what accreditation was until we didn’t have it anymore,” said Emmanuel Dunagan, of Bellwood. “There was nothing leading up to us not having a school anymore.” “All of the sudden, it was like a bomb had dropped,” Mahone said. Students said they didn’t find this out until July 2018, when Dream Center announced the impending closure during break between quarters. For-profit schools also cannot receive federal student aid unless they are fully accredited.
In this case, however, it meant future academic credits could be worthless to potential employers or to other schools. Schools can operate without being accredited. Maccoby said even if authors' contracts explicitly forbid AI companies from scraping and profiting from literary works, the rules are hard to enforce.The Higher Learning Commission, which accredits schools throughout the Midwest, approved the acquisition in January 2018 but removed accreditation for the Illinois and Colorado art schools pending review. The major publishers NPR contacted for this story declined to comment.
The Authors Guild updated its model contract in March to include language addressing the use of AI. "What I hear from colleagues is that most publishers are amenable to restricting certain kinds of AI use," Maccoby said, adding that she has yet to add such clauses to her own writers' contracts. (According to a recent Authors Guild survey about AI, while 90% of the writers who responded said that "they should be compensated for the use of their work in training AI," 67% said they "were not sure whether their publishing contracts or platform terms of service include permissions or grant of rights to use their work for any AI-related purposes.") Maccoby said agents, including herself, are starting to talk to publishers about featuring language in writers' contracts that prohibits unauthorized uses of AI as another way to protect their livelihoods, and those of their clients. "That's the only way these things are settled." humans: the Grammys outline new rules for AI use The advent of text-based generative AI applications like GPT-4 and Bard, that scrape the Web for authors' content without permission or compensation and then use it to produce new content in response to users' prompts, is giving writers across the country even more cause for worry. And writers' incomes declined by 42% between 20.
But protecting writers from the negative impacts of these technologies is not an easy proposition.Īccording to a forthcoming report from The Authors Guild, the median income for a full-time writer last year was $23,000. It's the latest in a volley of counter-offensives the literary world has launched in recent weeks against AI. Thousands of writers including Nora Roberts, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Michael Chabon and Margaret Atwood have signed a letter asking artificial intelligence companies like OpenAI and Meta to stop using their work without permission or compensation. It's just one example of the many ways AI has found its way into the world of books. The library incorporates technology and artificial intelligence, including robots to help visitors and an electronic book retrieval system. A visitor walks past shelves of books at the Mohammed bin Rashid Library in Dubai in June 2022.
