HarperCollins has reached an agreement with an artificial intelligence technology company to allow limited use of select titles from its non-fiction backlist to train AI models to improve model quality and performance. While we believe this offer is attractive, we respect the differing opinions of our authors, and they have the option to opt-in or pass on the opportunity.

HarperCollins has a long history of innovation and experimentation with new business models. Part of our role is to provide opportunities for authors to be considered, while protecting the underlying value of their work and our shared revenue and royalty streams. This agreement, with its limited scope and clear barriers around copyrightable model results, does just that.
