New AI standards group wants to make data scraping opt-in
Briefly

The Dataset Providers Alliance (DPA) promotes an opt-in system for using data, emphasizing that artists must give explicit consent, creating a fairer approach to data usage.
Alex Bestall, CEO of Rightsify, argues that the opt-in system ethically acknowledges creators' rights, stating, 'Selling publicly available datasets is one way to get sued and have no credibility.'
Ed Newton-Rex critiques the current opt-out systems as unfair, noting that creators may be unaware of their options, which undermines their control over their work.
The DPA's guidelines aim to standardize data usage across the AI industry and ensure that creators are respected and compensated for their contributions.
