Creative Commons and AI training
A family of public copyright licences. CC licences predate modern AI training and do not address voice or likeness consent, so CC-licensed media is not automatically cleared for AI training.
The licences range from permissive CC BY to restrictive CC BY-NC-ND, with CC0 waiving copyright entirely. Whether training triggers the NonCommercial or NoDerivatives terms is unsettled, attribution at model scale is impractical, and no CC licence addresses voice, likeness, or privacy. CC status settles at most the copyright layer.
Why it matters
Buyers treat CC licensing as the start of diligence, not the end of it.
