Booksellers Suspect AI Companies Behind Bulk Purchases
About this episode
Kenny’s bookshop in Galway have said they received an order for thousands of books, which has raised concerns about its potential use for AI.
While it’s not unusual for bookstores to receive large orders from places like libraries, this time the identity of the purchaser wasn’t revealed and a lot of the books were out of date.
Tomás Kenny of Kenny’s Bookshop and Elaine Burke, host of the For Tech’s Sake podcast, speak to Danny McConnell on The Last Word.
