最新报道:Following Anthropic's $1.5 billion copyright settlement, the AI industry faces mounting legal pressure over unlicensed training data, with 40+ pending lawsuits. In response, major web publishers including Reddit, Yahoo, and Quora have launched Real Simple Licensing (RSL), a protocol enabling machine-readable licensing terms via robots.txt files. The system, backed by a collective licensing organization similar to ASCAP, aims to streamline royalty payments and negotiations. While tracking data usage in AI models poses challenges, RSL co-founders argue existing deals prove reporting is feasible. The key question remains whether AI companies will adopt the system despite historically relying on free web data.
