Through our advocacy efforts and policy initiatives, we work to ensure that the interests of our members are represented and protected at all levels of government.
DMLA has now created two working groups:
1) the AI & Copyright Working Group, with a specific focus to work to ensure that copyright is protected and that we speak out on the importance of ethical standards in the training and use of generative artificial intelligence. The group’s first action was to respond to the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Request for Information on AI Action Plan.
