Fairly Trained launches certification for generative AI models that respect creators’ rights. I've been using the term "vegan models" for a while to describe machine learning models that have been trained in a way that avoids using unlicensed, copyrighted data. Fairly Trained is a new non-profit initiative that aims to encourage such models through a "certification" stamp of approval.
The team is lead by Ed Newton-Rex, who was previously VP of Audio at Stability AI before leaving over ethical concerns with the way models were being trained.
