Spawning provides data governance solutions for generative AI, focusing on quality, safety, and consent. The company offers tools for rights holders and AI developers to manage data preferences and opt-out methods.

Spawning

IP for the AI era

We believe that a future of consenting models will benefit both AI development and the people whose work it is trained on.

You may have used our first tool haveibeentrained.com to see if you are present in popular training datasets, and opt out of or opt in to future training, or have seen Holly+, the first project to experiment with consensual interactions around an artist AI model.

We have a lot more in the works.

Spawning recently launched a new project, Source.Plus:

“Our goal is to make it easy for rights holders to offer their media for use in generative AI training — on their own terms — and frictionless for developers to incorporate that media into their training workflows," shared CEO and Co-Founder Jordan Meyer.

Can't wait to hear more about these fantastic data empowerment projects & tools showcased by Mozilla Festival this Thursday!

From trailblazer Spawning's ' 'haveibeentrained.com' & their upcoming 'Source.plus' platform (to curate non-infringing collections for AI training), to  the 'Data provenance initiative', the 'FLAIR' initiative by Mila - Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute ('building the foundations for Indigenous Voice AI in systems explicitly designed to respect data sovereignty and linguistic self-determination') & 'The computational privacy group' from Imperial College London , you don't want to miss this!

We’re excited to extend early access to Spawning’s next project, Source.Plus — a platform to curate, enrich, and download non-infringing media collections in bulk for AI training. 

Source.Plus collections are seeded with nearly 40m high quality public domain and CC0 images, compliant with EU regulations, and more than enough to train a SoTA base model.

Our roadmap includes an extended suite of data enrichment and compliance tools for model trainers across modalities, and methods to license premium collections from rights holders.

Opt-outs that Work in the World of AI Data Scraping

A dive into the technical and practical concerns that must guide any opt-out solution

Spawning launched a new tool called Kudurru to help artists who want to block new attempts to train AI on their work. Read about it in WIRED from Kate Knibbs. https://lnkd.in/esUdfFY8

My TED talk is live at https://lnkd.in/epawi4wQ ! 
Check it out for memes, emissions and hot takes.
The TLDR? Focusing on the future existential risks of AI is a distraction from its current impacts and mitigating them.
Thank you to my colleagues at Hugging Face for the amazing work we are doing together - I truly believe that we're changing the world, one open LLM at a time.
Thank you to Spawning, Karla Ortiz and Dr. Joy Buolamwini  for your inspiration and for fighting the good fight - y'all are my (s)heroes and you inspire me every day.
Finally, thank you to Simone Ross and the rest of the TED Conferences  team for your unwavering support and encouragement. I will be forever grateful for this opportunity.

Authors can now search the Books3 dataset with Have I Been Trained (https://lnkd.in/gYyyibhN) and add their work to our Do Not Train registry!

The creator of books3 has offered to create a script removing opt-outs for model trainers

We will monitor future datasets to opt-out any duplicates found

Congratulations to our cofounder, Holly Herndon, for being named one of Time's 100 Most Influential People in AI! https://lnkd.in/ga7VmWCT
