Use of openly licensed photographs and machine learning: summary of survey results

A research report presenting results of a survey conducted by Selkie Study as part of our AI_Commons initiative. The survey allowed us to gather insights from users of photo-sharing platforms, on the use of content that they shared openly for AI training. The main objective of this study was to identify possible points of controversy around the usage of open content for the development of AI technologies. It also enabled us to outline directions for further research and for supporting users in understanding and reacting to incidents related to the development of AI technologies.
