While the Copyright Office submission and White Paper discuss the wider publisher landscape in the face of the GAI revolution, including relevant principles of copyright law, the accompanying technical analysis documents the extent to which GAI developers rely on high-quality journalistic content to power their models. In particular, the results show:
Alliance President & CEO Danielle Coffey stated, “The research and analysis we’ve conducted shows that AI companies and developers are not only engaging in unauthorized copying of our members’ content to train their products, but they are using it pervasively and to a greater extent than other sources. This shows they recognize our unique value, and yet most of these developers are not obtaining proper permissions through licensing agreements or compensating publishers for the use of this content. This diminishment of high-quality, human created content harms not only publishers but the sustainability of AI models themselves and the availability of reliable, trustworthy information.”
The Copyright Office comments and the White Paper offer multiple recommendations to policymakers, including recognizing that unauthorized use of publishers’ expressive content for commercial GAI training and development is likely to compete with and harm publisher businesses in a manner that infringes copyright; creating transparency requirements to require disclosure of the use of copyright protected content in training; encouraging and facilitating effective licensing solutions; supporting international cooperation and harmonization on GAI regulations; and adopting legislation to remedy existing market imbalances that prevent publishers from engaging in fair negotiations for the use of their content against dominant platforms.
Coffey continued, “Generative AI systems should be held responsible and accountable, just like any other business. This White Paper demonstrates that these systems rely on journalistic and creative content, which have the benefit of investment in quality on the front end, as well as publishers who are required by law to take responsibility for the content they share with the public. Continued unauthorized use will harm existing markets that acknowledge the value of archived and real-time quality content, and over time the GAI models themselves will deteriorate. You get out what you put in. It is critical that our copyright protections are properly enforced and that high standards of quality and accountability are the foundation of these and other new technologies.”

“This real-world, non-industry sponsored data showed significant reductions in blood loss and transfusion requirements in one study and was helpful when used in a selective hemorrhage control strategy in the other,” stated co-founder and CEO Asha Parekh, PhD. “In addition, one of the studies demonstrated the utility of the COBRA-OS® for intermittent and partial REBOA applications as well.”
The Pan-American Society for the Placenta Accreta Spectrum meeting is typically held in October, which coincides with Accreta Awareness Month (AAM). AAM encourages patients, survivors, medical professionals and public health advocates to spread the word about increased rates and risk factors associated with placenta accreta. At this year’s meeting, the COBRA-OS® was featured in a hands-on workshop led by Dr Adam Power, who is also the chief medical officer of Front Line. The conference was attended by high-risk obstetrical specialists from across North America.
“Postpartum hemorrhage is a tragically underrecognized global health crisis,” Dr Parekh continues. “For the many mothers who suffer from these devastating complications, this positive data helps us to spread the word about innovative solutions for some of the world’s biggest health problems”.

The CASA online community offers resources for peer support, evidence-based information, and access to experts to help those impacted by SCA recover, re-engage and thrive.
More than 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the United States each year, and sudden cardiac arrest is often fatal if cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillator shocks are not delivered within minutes to restore normal heart rhythm. As the Association works to double the SCA survival rate by 2030, more survivors and family members will likely need the support of survivor resources available within the CASA online community.
“We are honored that the American Heart Association supports the Cardiac Arrest Survivor Alliance™,” said Mary Newman, Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation president. “We greatly appreciate their efforts to promote CASA so that more survivors, co-survivors, and rescuers will learn about the resources available through CASA.”
According to a scientific statement from the American Heart Association on sudden cardiac arrest survivorship (1) , there is a strong interconnection between the mind, heart and body that affects the healing process for people impacted by SCA including survivors, family members, and rescuers.
“The American Heart Association has a goal to double survival from cardiac arrest by 2030,” said Tammy Gregory, executive vice president of the American Heart Association. “Working with cardiac arrest survivors and their lifesavers is important at every stage of the chain of survival – from preparation – to stepping in during an emergency – to supporting those in recovery. These efforts are critical for our community of survivors, advocates, and lifesavers to continue to grow.”
