CCAI copyleft license considering application for training AI models

Posted on

A group of researchers from Yale University proposed (PDF) a new type of open license CCAI (Contextual Copyleft), extending the application of copyleft to generative AI models. The idea behind CCAI is that using content under this license as data for machine learning results in the dissemination of copyleft terms to the resulting generative AI models. It is expected that the new license could help reduce abuse in AI projects […]
