#donottrain your AI with my data
As an internet user or content creator, your data is valuable. Like, it’s worth millions
Every piece of text and every photo you have ever posted publicly can and is being used for free to train artificial intelligence (AI) models that power tools like ChatGPT that generate millions of dollars of revenue. Did you agree to that? If not, can you stop it?
As a human, there is no way for you to limit your audience to other humans.
We want to change that
If your posts are public, everyone can see it. That includes not only other humans like your friends and family, but also algorithms and machines. You have no idea or control over whether or not they are being used to train models that generate deep fakes, impersonate your voice, or predict your sexual orientation, among other things.
Put it on your posts, or your entire profile. This signifies to AI researchers and companies that you do not want your content to be included in their training set. Just like Do Not Track, this declaration is not yet enforced. Our first step is to encourage the research and development community to respect your choice and source their data responsibly.
The first step is a declaration. #donottrain
As an AI researcher, if you care about ethical coffee beans, shouldn’t you also care about responsibly sourcing your training data?
Where did your datasets come from? Did you inform the authors of your intentions? Is it reasonable to assume that they would expect their content to be used in this way? Have you thought about what the fair compensation for using their creations should be?
