Key point

News outlets have pushed back against the use of web archives for AI training.

Details

News outlets are putting the brakes on web archives being used as AI training data.

  • As archives that preserve public web pages are used as a large-scale collection channel for AI companies, news outlets see this as weakening their control and usage rights over content.
  • The issue is whether, separate from the original purpose of web archives, they can be used as a data source for training AI models.
  • This pushback shows that the AI industry's approach to data acquisition is directly colliding with the publishing and media industry.
