Join us as we examine the evolving relationship between Open Access (OA), copyright, and the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on scholarly communication.

As AI tools become more sophisticated in searching, analyzing, and generating scholarly content, they bring new opportunities—but also raise complex legal and ethical questions.

How does AI intersect with open access publishing? What are the implications of training AI on copyrighted materials? And how can we protect both authors’ rights and the principle of equitable access to knowledge in this evolving context?

This workshop will explore the legal and practical challenges of opening research in an AI-driven world, highlighting how AI is transforming scholarly publishing practices, with a focus on access to literature, copyright compliance in AI training, and sustainable, forward-thinking solutions that support both academic integrity and technological innovation.
