Open For Whom? Internet Archive Hosts Critical Dialogue on Knowledge Access in the AI Era

On July 8, 2026, the Internet Archive will host a pivotal event titled “Open For Whom? Access to Knowledge in the Age of AI.” As artificial intelligence continues to reshape how information is consumed and processed, this session addresses the critical tension between open access principles and the commercial exploitation of public data.

The discussion aims to unravel who truly benefits when knowledge is labeled as “open.” With AI models scraping vast amounts of digital content, the event explores the future of the public domain and the necessity of ensuring that knowledge remains accessible to all, rather than being sequestered behind corporate algorithms. This timely event seeks to define new boundaries for information sharing in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
