I really don’t want my photos, writings, etc to be used for things like StableDiffusion or ChatGPT, but some of them I still want to release under an open access license that’s free for others to use in conventional derivative works, just specifically not AI. Does such a license exist?
Or at the very least, if my work is to be used to train AI, then I think the final models and neural networks themselves need to be open source and also free for anyone to use (as in, people should be able to download and run the AI on their own computer, not have to use the company’s web app. Does CC-BY-SA protect against this since it requires that any derivative works also be released under the same license? Does it work like GPL in that regard?
No such a license does not exist. It is very likely that stable diffusion and the like are more akin to fair use machines than plagiarism ones, transformative enough to rely on a fair use defense even if you use all-rights-reserved and don’t go open at all. EFF has a good explainer imo. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/04/how-we-think-about-copyright-and-ai-art-0 Source am lawyer with copyright background
