Training data consent

Permission or agreement concerning the use of data to train AI.

Example

A creator chooses whether a service may use their submissions for AI system improvement.

Why people use it

It clarifies whether information may be used to improve an AI system.

What you'll hear

“Did we agree to training use, or only storage?”

What this means for you

Read the specific training-use terms and available choices.

Can you control it?

Sometimes

Sometimes. Your choices depend on the tool and your access. The settings available to an everyday user may differ from those available to the people running it.

Common questions

Is permission to store data the same as permission to train on it?
Not necessarily. The purposes and terms can differ.
Can permission be limited to certain material?
Yes. An agreement may cover particular information, people or purposes rather than everything submitted.
Does withdrawing permission erase past learning automatically?
No. Stopping future use and removing earlier influence from an AI system are different tasks.
