This work examines the differences between U.S. fair use and Canadian fair dealing in relation to the training of large language models (LLMs) for generative artificial intelligence (AI). It explores how the current legal frameworks address the use of copyrighted materials in AI training, with particular emphasis on market impact and the purpose of the use, and whether the use is educational or commercial. It also touches on potential policy approaches.

The project aims at documenting war crimes against civilians and libraries. It also aims at bringing direct experiences of the war to an American scholars, students and general public. The project employs participatory archiving methods of data collection and analysis. The stakeholder community members include librarians from multiple regions of Ukraine. The Ukrainian Library Association is a partner engaged in collection, appraisal, and description components of archival processes. The U.S. researchers are engaged in creating platforms to preserve, classify and disseminate the knowledge, via physical and digital art exhibits and an open source archive in two languages.
