To the Liblicense community,

As there has been a sense of urgency surrounding the addition of AI clauses into licensing terms and conditions, the International Coalition of Library Consortia (ICOLC) Coordinating Committee appointed an AI Task Force to examine the issue early this year. The Task Force brought a statement forward with guiding principles for AI Clauses that has now been approved by the Coordinating Committee and posted to the ICOLC public website:

https://www.icolc.net/statements/icolc-statement-ai-licensing

At this time, we are now seeking additional signatories/endorsements from the consortia and library community at: https://forms.gle/Q1baAikGFRAaEMmJ8

Additionally, we welcome translations of this statement, which should be submitted to [log in to unmask].

The ICOLC AI Task Force is continuing to work on a negotiation guide as well as additional commentary on best practices, all of which will be incorporated into a final report and shared broadly.

Thank you in advance for your support and endorsements.

On behalf of the ICOLC AI Task Force,

Teri Oaks Gallaway, Ph.D.
