AI companies are buying and destroying millions of printed books to secure clean training data

AI firms are quietly bulk-purchasing millions of physical books published before 2022 to train their models, often destroying them through destructive scanning. ISBNdb now coordinates purchases ranging from 1,000 to 1 million books, marketing pre-AI era texts as structurally guaranteed to be free of synthetic content contamination. While a federal judge ruled this practice qualifies as fair use, the surge is reshaping the used-book market and raising ethical concerns about rare titles being permanently lost.
