"CC signals are a proposed framework to help content stewards express how they want their works used in AI training—emphasizing reciprocity, recognition, and sustainability in machine reuse. They aim to preserve open knowledge by encouraging responsible AI behavior without limiting innovation."

Note that the propoal "social contract" does not include a signal for content providers to say they don't want their work used in AI training What's with that?

(I was going to file an issue on it but as usual @mcc is ahead of me. Here's the link again ... if you also think this is a problem it might be useful to upvote it and perhaps add a comment.]

Hilariously, their list of concepts that the project "draws inspiration" from starts with "consent". Indeed, the full reportThe full report (PDF) says that "We believe creator consent is a core value of and a key component to a new social contract." I believe that too, I just don't see how the actual proposal aligns with that.

UPDATE: discussion on Github suggests that this proposal builds on an IETF proposal, which does have a way to specify this -- but takes no position on the default, if it's not specified. So that's somewhat better, but it's still opt-out -- and opt-out isn't real consent. More details in the reply at https://infosec.exchange/@thenexusofprivacy/114748419834505739

At any rate, here's the signals in the @creativecommonsCC Signals proposal. My initial reaction these seem reasonable enough as far as they go ... it's just that they don't include the ability to say "no"

• Credit: You must give appropriate credit based on the method, means, and
  context of your use.

• Direct Contribution: You must provide monetary or in-kind support to the Declaring Party for their development and maintenance of the assets, based on a good faith valuation taking into account your use of the assets and your financial
  means.

• Ecosystem Contribution: You must provide monetary or in-kind support back to the ecosystem from which you are benefiting, based on a good faith valuation taking into account your use of the assets and your financial means.

• Open: The AI system used must be open. For example, AI systems must satisfy the Model Openness Framework (MOF) Class II, MOF Class I, or the Open Source AI Definition (OSAID).
