Non -profit Creative municipalitiesWho guided the movement of licenses that allows creators to share their works while maintaining copyright, is now preparing for the AI era. Last Wednesday, the organization has announced the launch of a new project, cc Signals, which will allow owners of details of details how their content can or cannot be reused by machines, as in the case of the formation of AI models.
The idea aims to create a balance between the open nature of the internet and the request for multiple data to feed the IA.
As Creative Commons in A explains Blog postsThe continuous extraction of the current data may have been incorrect on the Internet and could see the entities deserve their sites or protect them with Paywalls, the intention of sharing access to their data.
The CC Signals, on the other hand, Aits to provide a legal and technical solution that would provide a framework for sharing data sets intended to be used well, which control data and those who use it to form the IA.
The application is increasing for such a tool, since companies deal with the modification of their policies and the terms of service to limit the training of the AI on their data or explain to what extent the data of users for the purposes relating to the AI.
For example, x initially he made a file exchange This allowed the third part to train their models on its public data, then later inverted That. Reddit is using its robots.txt filewhich aims to tell automated web crawler web that can access its site, to limit boots from scraping your data for the formation of the AI. Cloudflare He is looking towards a solution This would also charge robots to scrape As tools to confuse them. And open source developers have Also tools built Slow down and were the resources of the artificial intelligence crawler who did not respect their directives “without scan”.
The CC signal project offers a different solution: a series of tools that offers a range of legal applicability, but all that have an ethical weight for them, similar to the CC licenses that today cover billions of creative works openly on online license.
“CC signals are designed to support common goods in the AI era,” said Anna Tumadóttir, Ceo of Creative Commons, in Annunce. “Just as CC licenses have contributed to building the open web, we believe that CC signals will help to model an open artificial intelligence ecosystem based on reciprocity.”
The project is starting only now to take shape. The first projects were published on CC website AND Github page. The organization is actively looking for public feedback in view of its plans for an Alpha launch (Early Test) in November 2025. It will also host a series of municipalities for feedback and questions.
