“Unlocking the Future of Publishing: Richard Charkin Reveals Surprising Insights from the Charleston Conference”
What seemed clear to me is that while publishers doing deals with LLMs for welcome new income streams is attractive, ultimately we’re going to need intermediaries such as the existing trusted agencies—CCC, CLA, CA, and so on—to develop efficient systems for collecting money, distributing it, ensuring compliance by the generative AI giants, and thus protecting copyright itself.
I’m quoted by one of the participants as saying, “Given the state of things, Charleston is absolutely vital.” While I cannot quite remember the context, I think it’s true. The speakers were of a consistently high standard. The sessions themselves were crisp and heterogeneous. Some lasted one hour, some only five minutes. The organization was impeccable, timekeeping on a par with a SpaceX mission to Mars.
