A little-known nonprofit has been lying to news publishers while funneling millions of paywalled articles to tech companies for AI training. Read my investigation in The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

AI is doing to publishers what Uber did to taxi companies. Books and journalism may increasingly be controlled by Silicon Valley. See my latest piece in The Atlantic for details. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Style imitation isn't copyright infringement, but it's potentially disastrous for artists and studios. Can anything stop AI companies from doing it? I wrote about this for The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

If AI chatbots are getting better, why can't tech companies measure their progress? I wrote about a serious problem with the industry's benchmark testing. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Dialogue from more than 139,000 movies and TV shows has been used to train generative AI. I wrote about it for The Atlantic and built a search tool for screenwriters, directors, and actors to find their work. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Is generative AI a good thing for our culture? Does it help spread knowledge or does it impede creativity and collaboration? These are central questions in the ongoing lawsuits against AI companies, which I just wrote about for

You can now search 183,000+ books that are being used without permission as training data for generative AI: www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Great response from Margaret Atwood to my piece in @theatlantic.bsky.social

I did some hacking and wrote a piece for @theatlantic.bsky.social about the complex realities of AI training data.
