Monetizing Research for AI Training: The Risks and Best Practices
As the demand for generative AI grows, so does the hunger for high-quality data to train these systems. Scholarly publishers have started to monetize their research content to provide training data for large language models (LLMs). While this development is creating a new revenue stream for publishers and empowering generative AI for scientific discoveries, it

How Large Language Models Are Unveiling the Mystery of ‘Blackbox’ AI
AI is becoming a more significant part of our lives every day. But as powerful as it is, many AI systems still work like “black boxes.” They make decisions and predictions, but it’s hard to understand how they reach those conclusions. This can make people hesitant to trust them, especially regarding essential decisions like loan
