Moments adopt AI-Opt out by spawning.ai to Empower Creators

There is a growing concern over the loss of control as AI technology advances beyond what was previously  thought possible. We live in an era where data is power. Yet the creators of data, the users, are more frequently being overlooked in the rush to achieve results. 

This is where Spawning's HaveIBeenTrained.com and AdaMoments.io step in. A moment that marks the movement of empowering users in the age of AI. Together, they are building an approach that ensures that user data is respected, allowing all to decide how their creations are used, particularly in training AI models.

Addressing the Problem: AI and User Data

AI models rely on user data to learn and improve. Asking a generative AI “Generate my cat in the style of Van-Gogh” requires that the AI know what Van-Gogh pained like. That means training on Van-Gogh paintings and pictures. But what happens when this data is used without consent? The implications are far-reaching: privacy breaches, loss of control, and the lack of unique creative identities. Many artists and content creators worry that their style, voice, and ‘creative spark’ are being used by AI systems, diminishing the authenticity and value of their work.

With the ethical use of AI becoming a global conversation, the need for tools that protect user preferences has never been greater. Spawning.ai and AdaMoments.io have joined forces to meet this challenge head-on.

Integrating the 'Do Not Train Registry'

At the heart of this collaboration is Spawning.ai’s "Do Not Train Registry", a beginning to an AI opt-out system designed to safeguard user data. This registry empowers users to state their preferences as to the extent AI may or may not train on their data.

Moments leverage decentralized technology on the Cardano blockchain, enhances this system by integrating the do not train registry. Users who have posted their content on AdaMoments.io can see their data registered in Spawning’s open “Opt-Out” repository. Ethical AI will need to check such repositories before using user data for training, respecting the preferences set by individuals. Although not currently obligatory, EU regulators are set to adopt regulations that will require AI companies to respect creator IP rights, especially when formal "opt-out" requests are communicated.

Spawning.ai and AdaMoments complements their efforts of AI opt out by advocating for digital sovereignty. Within and beyond the Cardano ecosystem Moments demonstrate the strength of a technological reality that will empower self-sovereign digital citizens.

Control and Ownership in the Age of AI

For artists and creators, this technological combination is a crucial step forward. It means their unique styles and voices won’t be copied or imitated by AI without their explicit permission. It’s about preserving the authenticity and individuality that make creative works special, while also allowing users to retain control and ownership over their data.

In a world where data is increasingly becoming a commodity, this collaboration is a reminder that the power of technology should be in the hands of people. Together companies such as Spawning.ai and AdaMoments.io will evolve the rules for ethical AI—putting your consent front and center, where it belongs.
