"I view licensing content specifically for AI training as similar to the advertising revenue the company generated 10 years ago. It is a vehicle for continuing to support the company from a financial perspective, and it gives us capital at what we think will be fairly significant levels."
"If you have an old Photobucket account you haven't touched in a while, you'll need to reactivate it to opt out of any licensing deals by setting your account to 'private.'"
"Photobucket could soon license user photos to AI companies, which would use the images to train their datasets."
"Photos marked 'private' would not be licensed. No images have been used for AI training so far, but ones set to 'public' would be part of any potential licensing deals."
