Bluesky suggests a tool for users to refer to the preference for using their data by AI
REDE social Blouse A proposal in Gyrroup This would allow users to indicate whether they accept their posts and data used for training or not artificial intelligence Obstetrics and public files. The plan was mentioned by the CEO of the company, Jay GabbarDuring the southern festival from the southwest, but it was born controversy when it was published on this topic on the same platform.
User’s reaction to attention was, and seeing this measure was a decline in a Beluski promise not to sell or use data for IA training. GRABER answered that AI companies are already collecting general data from the Internet, including Bluesky, because “everything on the platform in general, like the site.” Thus, the social network will try to create a new standard similar to the file Robots.txtUsed to refer to web attachments.
The tool will depend on the goodwill of companies
The proposal indicates a system that allows Bluesky users and other platforms that are used ATPRTOCOL Determine preferences in four categories:
- Artificial intelligence training (Using posts to feed obstetric models)
- The relationship between social networks (Betical operation of data)
- Use in large databases
- Web archiving (No Internet Archive)
The company expects companies and researchers to respect these preferences by collecting Bluesky data, Either by direct scraping or comprehensive transmission via the protocol. However, the proposed model has no legal power.
researcher Molly WhiteIt is known for its critical analysis of technology, evaluating the proposal as positive. It argues that Bluesky does not encourage data bulldozing, but trying to create a mechanism for something that already happens.
On the other hand, White highlighting the system, because it depends on the voluntary commitment of artificial intelligence companies. Many of them really ignore restrictions like Robots.txtBesides using pirated materials to train artificial intelligence models.
The debate on ethics and organization remains open
The Bluesky initiative occurs at the time of intensifying discussions about the use of general data to train artificial intelligence models. Companies like Openai and Google face information gathering without permission.
Without a specific organization, the social network’s proposal seeks to balance the transparency of users and control their data, but its effectiveness depends on the adhesion of the sector.
