"Open access structures the types of information that are accessible for scholars to conduct computational analyses and is equally likely to affect which information is used to train artificial intelligence programs. Institutions with robust funding to allow articles to be widely read will continue to have a greater hand in determining how things are represented. If articles from certain eras or from specific subfields are more likely behind paywalls, they will be less likely to feed into materials generated using AI. Academic publishing practices may ultimately work to undermine public knowledge."
