A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'll simplify, then. Can I download an article that I've paid for and have permission to download, then have an algorithm operate on that data?
You can download the article and do with it what you wish. Copyright law mostly governs redistributing it.
If you distribute that algorithm, things become hairy. There are various lawsuits going on about AI and AI models right now, that will probably take years to culminate in anything we can refer to. From what I've read from other lawyers, this stuff can really go either way at the moment.
Unless we'll get AI legislation beforehand, we'll have to wait and see what the judges say about this.
