OpenAI’s New Tool Will Give Artists Control Over Their Data—but It’s Unclear How


ChatGPT developer OpenAI says that artists and other content owners will be able to request that their work be excluded from use in AI development. Many details of the scheme remain unclear.

In a blog post, OpenAI described the tool as a way to allow “creators and content owners to tell us what they own” and specify “how they want their works to be included or excluded from machine learning research and training.” Research is underway on machine “unlearning,” a process that adjusts an AI system to retrospectively remove the contribution of one part of its training data, but the technique has not yet been perfected. The first major question on his mind: Is this simply an opt-out tool that leaves OpenAI contining to use data without permission unless a content owner requests its exclusion?
