CREATe Public Lecture by Monica Westin
This talk by Monica Westin - Director of Open Policy Development at Cambridge University Press - explores copyright as infrastructure in the age of AI: the shared, networked, and interoperable systems that lower transaction costs, enable scale, shape participation, and, following Chachra, embody “material expressions of shared commitments.” From this perspective, the lecture will illuminate copyright infrastructure failure modes central to the scholarly knowledge economy, and advance practical remedies grounded in the principles of infrastructural maintenance.
