Why is it a big opportunity.

Simple: The rights have a great deal of value. The artificial intelligence industry is worth trillions of dollars. For AI to work, It must be trained on accurate, curated, in-depth information, and lots of it. The largest and most authoritative corpus of that is the immense body of published books. Allowing your work and the ones you publish or represent to be used to train AI doesn’t mean the book is available online, in fact is explicicly doesn’t. It means that the AI is taught the knowledge in the book.

But what are the pitfalls?

As a practical matter, you may not have any choice as to whether your works are used to train AI. The AI companies are doing it regardless. Rather it might simply be a choice of getting paid or not, and extracting the most money and best protection for your works that you can. To do this, you need deep knowledge of how these technologies work, the issues involved, and experience deal with these companies. In addition, you need deep AI knowledge coupled with a long track record of representing literary works. That’s where we come in.
