AI Sauna/Designing Human Scale Preference Signals
Designing Human Scale Preference Signals edit
This project is a merger of Designing human-scale permission for machine-scale operations by George Oates and Preference Signals in Open Culture by Connor Benedict.
Description edit
George Oates: We want to work on how to ensure Flickr members are aware of, and give permission for, their images being used as training data in AI systems. The horse may have left the stable, but we at flickr.org think it's an important piece of ethical friction that has been lacking in loads of social platforms. Whether this is drawings on paper or a conversation, we'd love your input.
CHIs have a wealth of material, and data, that is increasingly coming online, through our shared efforts in the Open Culture Movement (CC, Wikimedia, and others.) And so the data of the world's cultural heritage collections is also becoming available for analysis and interpretation and ingestion by AI softwares.
Connor Benedict: CC is exploring preference signals for creators but their application and interpretation is potentially relevant to CHIs everywhere as well and so we would like to explore that together. As with the Licenses we are approaching preference signals broadly and considering the variety of ways that may make sense to indicate a use is preferred.
Besides the implications of preference signaling in CHI’s we want to explore their implementation given legal certainty or uncertainty. Where it is also relevant to explore is whether CHI’s would be allowed/should be allowed to indicate preferences on behalf of the creators.
