Text and data mining (TDM) is the automated process of identifying patterns from data extracted from large quantities of material, an important part of artificial intelligence (AI) innovation. TDM requires making non-consumptive copies of works 1 – some of which may fall under copyright. There is currently a lack of clarity around the legal status of TDM and the absence of an explicit TDM exception in the Canadian Copyright Act frustrates the work of researchers and stifles development by necessitating significant copyright analysis to ensure copyright compliance.
