OpenAI will release a Media Manager tool in 2025, allowing creators to block AI training

No price has yet been listed for the tool, and I'm guessing it will be offered for free since OpenAI is using it to position itself as ethical

OpenAI has made a flurry of new updates today alone, but the biggest may be a new tool it is developing called “Media Manager,” due out next year in 2025, which will allow creators to choose which of their works — if any — they will allow to be scraped and trained on for the company’s AI models. This will require cutting-edge machine learning research to build a first-ever tool of its kind to help us identify copyrighted text, images, audio, and video across multiple sources and reflect creator preferences. The moves come amid an ongoing wave of visual artists and creators objecting to AI model makers such as OpenAI and its rivals Anthropic, Meta, Cohere and others scraping the web for data to train on without their express permission, consent, or compensation.
