The signals that indicate how to use a Creative Commons photograph could soon serve as inspiration for enabling creators to flag how an AI is allowed to use that image in training datasets. The nonprofit Creative Commons organization is developing a system for flagging how an AI is allowed to use a work in training, a set of labels the organization is calling CC Signals.
CC Signals takes inspiration from Creative Commons licensing options. Much like artists choosing to share their work under Creative Commons can choose an attribution required label or a non-commercial use license, creators can choose a CC Sigmal to indicate how an AI can use the work.
