The Future of Books and AI
We talk with publisher Peter Goodman and author/translator Frederik L. Schodt about artificial intelligence as it relates to writing and publishing books.
Frederik L. Schodt's book The Astro Boy Essays: Osamu Tezuka, Mighty Atom, and the Manga/Anime Revolution was recently listed as one of the books used to train generative AI. Peter Goodman is publisher of Stone Bridge Press (our podcast sponsor), publishing books about Asia for over 30 years. Both of these guests offer their views on AI, the use of published books to train artificial intelligence, the issues of copyright, fair use, and plagiarism, the different ways writers and publishers can use AI as a tool, and what the AI industry should be doing to move forward and make AI trustworthy and beneficial for everyone involved.
Check out the article in the Atlantic discussing the nearly 200,000 books used to train generative-AI systems, with a searchable database.
The Books on Asia Podcast is sponsored by Stone Bridge Press. Check out their books on Japan at the publisher's website.
Amy Chavez, podcast host, is author of Amy's Guide to Best Behavior in Japan and The Widow, the Priest, and the Octopus Hunter: Discovering a Lost Way of Life on a Secluded Japanese Island.
