Addressing Responsible AI with Voluntary Collective Licensing

Based on market feedback and following the successful launch of AI re-use rights within the Annual Copyright License (ACL), we will be launching a new voluntary collective license.

The new AI Systems Training License is for organizations training AI models for uses external to their organization. ​

Developing robust AI language models requires large quantities of quality materials, including copyrighted content.

  • Today, AI language models are commonly trained using copyrighted materials without the permission of the rightsholder. Licensing is an effective solution to address this use.
  • The AI Systems Training License will provide the rights to lawfully use a wide and diverse repertoire of content for training AI models for external use.
