OpenAI Media Manager Tool Gives Content Creators Control Over AI Model Training
OpenAI recently announced the development of a new tool called Media Manager, which aims to empower content creators by allowing them to determine how their work is utilized in the training of generative AI models. This upcoming feature will enable individuals to tag their content and specify the role it plays in OpenAI’s model development process.
Generative AI models rely heavily on data collected from public sources on the internet. Despite citing the fair use doctrine to justify their data sources, OpenAI and other developers have faced criticism and legal challenges regarding copyright infringement. In response, Media Manager will provide creators with the ability to customize how their intellectual property is used in AI systems or to opt out entirely.
In a blog post, OpenAI stated, We need an efficient, scalable solution for content owners to express their preferences about the use of their content in AI systems. The company is working on cutting-edge machine learning research to create this groundbreaking tool that can identify copyrighted text, images, audio, and video across various sources and respect creator preferences. OpenAI aims to have Media Manager up and running by 2025, setting a new standard for the AI industry.
To diversify their data sources, OpenAI is upgrading its models to include not only publicly available data but also proprietary data obtained through partnerships with companies and organizations. These partnerships are expected to enhance content discovery and engagement for users.
In a related development, OpenAI has been collaborating with Stack Overflow and The Financial Times to further integrate generative AI features. The partnerships aim to enhance the user experience and provide additional value through the use of AI technologies.
Overall, these initiatives mark a significant step in empowering content creators and protecting intellectual property rights in the evolving landscape of AI technology. With Media Manager and strategic partnerships, OpenAI is working towards a more inclusive and responsible approach to AI model training and development.
