Nonprofit Launches AI Model Certification to Ensure Legal Data Usage
- Nonprofit organization Fairly Trained certifies AI models only trained on copyrighted material with permission, unlike some companies arguing fair use
- Getting certification involves detailing training data and processes to ensure licensed data is used
- So far 9 smaller AI companies have gotten certified, as larger tech firms often don't seek licensing
- No large language models have been certified yet, as most scrape data from across internet without permission
- Founder hopes for future where AI assists creativity and democratizes access, if built respecting creator rights behind training data
