Fifty years after Gutenberg, at the end of the incunabular or infant age of print, books took on the characteristics we now know: titles, title pages, page numbers. Thus, for the first time, information had a standard address, facilitatating conversation. In the age of AI, information is again disaggregated from its addresses, words transformed into numeric tokens and data about the vectors among them. There is no recapturing the standards of print in AI. I hope this audience can address challenges in a new light, rethinking copyright; examining the moral responsibility journalists, authors, and academics have to inform public discourse (who wants stupid AI?); understanding publishers' self-interest in being read, used, and cited by AI; and importantly mediating fair systems for crediting—and, yes, supporting—sources.
