“The debate over data scraping, AI access, and the open web is more than a clash between website operators and AI developers. It is a reflection of the importance of public web data to the global economy,” writes partner Jo Levy in her article “Data scraping, AI and the battle for the open web,” published in Financier Worldwide Magazine.
