dynamicDo there yet exist any ready-written Creative-Commons-style licenses that explicitly withdraw permission from data harvesting for #GenerativeAI?
(boosts welcome)
If anyone knows any licensing lawyers who might be willing to provide their opinions on public domain licensing that would preclude use in generative AI, it'd be awesome if you could tag them.
David Zaslavsky@dynamic I'm not a lawyer (and I don't really know any on here), but I suspect that whatever lawyers you do talk to are going to say something about the output of an AI algorithm not counting as a derivative work of its input. Here's a somewhat random reference https://law.stackexchange.com/q/77363/4861 suggesting that various government agencies have taken the position that generative AI outputs are not derivative works of their inputs; instead, they're original creations of the algorithm, and thus not eligible for copyright protection. But that hasn't actually been tested in court, that I know of.
Anyway, the point is, if the output of an AI algorithm is not copyrightable, then there might not be any way that you can use a license to legally prevent a work from being incorporated into generative AI. (Not without a change in the laws, of course.)
