Copyright Clearance Center’s AI re-use rights offer stands in its Annual Copyright Licenses subscription program for ‘millions of works.’
(16 Jul 2024) Even as lawsuits and tense exchanges go on around unlicensed use of copyrighted content to train their LLMs (large language models), the United States-based Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) today (July 16) has announced a new collective licensing approach for content usage in internal AI systems.
“The inclusion of AI re-use rights,” according to today’s media messaging from CCC, “makes the Annual Copyright Licenses” service what it says is the first such collective licensing approach of is kind for the internal use (such as training) of copyrighted materials in AI systems.
The license, CCC says, “enables participating rightsholders to fulfill the needs of companies that require an efficient way to legally acquire the rights to use copyrighted materials in AI systems for internal use.”
