TL;DR: Libraries are evolving by providing alternatives to AI with queryable databases, enabling users to access specific information like Canadian Law Reviews more effectively than traditional catalogues. https://librarian.aedileworks.com/2025/06/19/libraries-can-provide-alternatives-to-ai-with-queryable-databases/ #law #tech #legaltech ⚖️ 🤖 #autosum

His assessment came back the next day.

He concluded the service —SciSpace, a ChatGPT application— was incompatible with at least three of the five core principles: it is not transparent about the underlying LLM and how data is processed, nor about input data & training; it makes the researcher dependent on a blackboxed for-profit service that seems designed for user lock-in; and it greatly complicates matters of responsibility and accountability.

2/3 (going to need one more)

Why this makes me happy: it shows that our guidance empowers researchers to make up their own mind and make principled choices based on clear values. There is no need to prescribe or prohibit particular solutions; a values-first perspective takes the professionalism of researchers seriously and enables them to make informed choices

"Schöpfungshöhe" ist ein zentrales (und nicht gerade triviales) Konzept im #Urheberrecht. Bisher gab es bei @irightsinfo keinen zentralen Text zu diesem kniffligen Thema.
Toll, dass Lea Singson sich dieser Leerstelle annimmt: Sie erklärt das urheberrechtliche Konzept, erläutert anhand von Beispielen aus versch. Kunstgattungen die Erfordernisse für das Erreichen von #Schöpfungshöhe und listet einige Mythen auf.
Wann ist ein Werk ein Werk? Zur Bestimmung der Schöpfungshöhe: https://doi.org/10.59350/irights.32592
Schöpfungshöhe im Urheberrecht

Die Schöpfungshöhe regelt, ob eine geistige Leistung als Werk gilt und damit urheberrechtlichen Schutz genießt. Wie sie zu bestimmen ist.

It's a good move, that @kagihq finally opened a free plan to test the service. I've been eyeing them for a long time already, but was hesitant about commiting financially.
It's awesome to hear @kagihq has a program for libraries, too!
