At the SXSW conference, Bluesky CEO Jay Graber announced that the social network is creating a framework to allow users to consent to how their content is used for generative AI. This initiative comes after reports of other platforms, including X, utilizing user-generated content for AI training without explicit consent. Bluesky aims to respect user choice, enabling them to control the usage of their posts akin to how websites manage scraping permissions. As Bluesky's user base continues to grow rapidly, its policy on data usage remains a key focus.
"We really believe in user choice," Graber said, saying that users would be able to specify how they want their Bluesky content to be used.
"It could be something similar to how websites specify whether they want to be scraped by search engines or not," she continued.
"So you need something to be widely adopted and to have users and companies and regulators to go with this framework. But I think it's possible."
