Screenshot of Wiley Results press release. Text says: MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY βContinuous improvement is a way of life for us now, and itβs beginning to pay off in our quality growth and margin expansion,β said Matthew Kissner, Wiley President and CEO. βLearning has had a good year so far, both Academic and Professional, and Research delivered low-single digit growth with leading indicators and favorable comparisons signaling a better second half ahead. Additionally, we continue to see interest from tech companies and other corporate LLM developers for our high-value content and data to train and commercialize AI models.β
Looks like Wiley is still very keen to license its content to more LLM developers and tech companies

Nothing like the Digital Science speaker series starting again at the Royal Institution to get me to come into the office. It should be a very interesting talk by Chris van Tulleken on ultra-processed food www.digital-science.com/news/digital...
