Class Description
As artificial intelligence (AI) transforms how knowledge is created, shared, and reused, leaders and members of the open movement are at a crossroad that will define the future of access to knowledge and shared creativity. The application of copyright law to AI training is complex. Around the world, there are exceptions and limitations to copyright that give latitude to AI training, but laws vary significantly. Since Creative Commons (CC) licenses are copyright licenses, it follows that the application of CC licenses to AI training is similarly complicated. Hear the latest thoughts about the relationship between AI, copyright, and the existing CC licenses and legal tools, both in the US and also globally. Then, learn about the latest developments on a project we are currently calling CC signals: a proposed framework to help content stewards express how they want their works used in AI training—emphasizing reciprocity, recognition, and sustainability in machine reuse. There will also be time for discussion and Q&A.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this class, students will be able to:
- Understand more about the complex relationship between copyright, AI, and CC licenses and legal tools
- Describe our current understanding of how copyright and CC licenses may apply to certain uses of AI, and identify where there are still uncertainties
- Identify the proposed framework for CC signals and how it differs from the existing CC licenses
- Know where to find additional information and resources to learn more and share their own thoughts and feedback
Instructor - Shanna Hollich
As Learning and Training Manager, Shanna Hollich supports all of Creative Commons' programs and projects by identifying and developing professional development and learning opportunities that are relevant to CC’s mission, including (but not limited to) the CC Certificates.
Prior to joining CC, Shanna worked for 15 years as a librarian across multiple institutions – K-12 school, public, government, and academic. They have worked in public/access services, technical services and cataloging/metadata, and administration, ultimately serving as director for the John Stewart Memorial Library at Wilson College and the Guthrie Memorial Library in Hanover, PA. Their research during this time primarily involved copyright reform, cultural heritage, open access, open education, and social justice.
