The Knowledge Paradox: When Does Sharing Become Theft?
Summary
For decades, the open movement championed sharing as the path to knowledge equity—billions of works freely accessible and reusable across research, education, and culture. But AI weaponizes that openness: what was built to democratize knowledge now trains models that concentrate power and profit. Open data scraping. Closed model development. Free content fueling extraction. As we mark Creative Commons' 25th anniversary, we confront an impossible question: how do we keep knowledge open without enabling its exploitation?
