- ISBNdb deleted a portion of its website that offered to source printed books for AI training after 404 Media's reporting.
- The company walked back its claims, describing the offering as 'a test of market interest' and stating no such service was ever implemented.
- On July 30, ISBNdb added a note to its homepage and news page denying it ever purchased, scanned, or sold books for AI training.
- ISBNdb emphasized it does not train AI models and has never done so, reiterating its role as a provider of book data, not physical books.
