Training Data Consent

What it is

Training data consent refers to whether creators gave permission for their content to be used in AI training. Most AI models were trained on internet content scraped without explicit consent from creators. This raises ethical and legal questions about using others' work.

Why it matters

The content AI generates is shaped by human creativity it learned from. Questions of consent affect the ethics of AI development and your own moral considerations when using AI. Ongoing debates and lawsuits are shaping how future models will handle consent.
