Artificial intelligence (AI) plays an important role in copyright protection in online libraries by helping to monitor and prevent infringements related to illegal content distribution. With the proliferation of digital publications and access to online resources, copyright protection is becoming an important challenge for content owners and platforms that provide access to books, articles, and other works.
One of the ways AI is helping with copyright protection is by automatically detecting infringement. AI uses algorithms that can scan text and compare it to a database of copyrighted works. For example, systems can detect plagiarism or copying of a piece of text by comparing it to pre-existing publications. In the case of images or books, AI can look for digital imprints such as watermarks or specific metadata to confirm that the material is copyrighted.
AI systems such as Content ID are used to automatically track content in online libraries and file-sharing platforms. These technologies can automatically identify uploaded material that infringes copyright and block it or send notifications to rights owners. This significantly speeds up the process of detecting infringement that might otherwise require a lot of time and manual intervention.
AI can also improve license management in online libraries. Using algorithms that analyze content and metadata, systems can accurately determine which material is freely available and which requires special rights or licenses for distribution. This helps platforms avoid distributing material without proper permissions while complying with copyright regulations.
In addition, AI analysis of user behavior can detect suspicious activities such as mass downloading or distribution of protected material. Algorithms can recognize such patterns and alert administrators or block access to materials if copyright infringement is suspected.
However, there is also a challenge in the context of using AI for copyright protection, as algorithms may be wrong or fail to recognize all types of infringements, especially when it comes to partial text changes or adapted versions of works. In such cases, additional measures are needed to balance the protection of rights with the right of users to access information.
Overall, AI provides online libraries with powerful tools for copyright enforcement, speeding up the processes of detection and prevention of infringement, as well as providing reliable digital content management.
