The Role of Scientific Literature Management Solutions in AI-Driven Research


AI-driven research often relies on vast amounts of information, much of which may be sourced from published literature. This content is vital for training AI models and driving innovation. However, the use of copyrighted material brings forth a complex set of legal and ethical considerations.

This is where a literature management solution that integrates rights verification for AI uses becomes indispensable. Adopting this type of literature management solution lays the foundation for responsible AI development, where content utilization is aligned with legal standards and ethical business practices across the organization.

As organizations increasingly leverage AI to fuel research and innovation, a key challenge is confirming that the content used is properly licensed and the associated rights are respected. The need for a robust, compliant, and efficient approach to managing copyright has never been more critical.

CCC’s Annual Copyright License now includes a harmonized set of rights for the internal use of lawfully acquired content with AI systems, and CCC’s RightFind literature management solution integrates these license rights to both streamline access to content and provide organizations with a strong starting point from which to begin their AI journeys compliantly.

How can RightFind transform the way your organization tackles these AI-related challenges?
