Industry News: Market Insights – Navigating AI Rights in Research
As AI becomes a central part of research workflows, copyright and data rights are emerging as critical challenges. During a recent webinar, Dr. Chris Bendall of Research Solutions explained that publishers are increasingly restricting how their content can be used with AI tools, creating uncertainty for both corporate and academic users. In response, Research Solutions introduced a rights-management system within Article Galaxy, allowing researchers to instantly verify permissions and, when needed, acquire AI rights to use scholarly content safely and transparently.
