[Air-L] Webinar "Legal frictions for AI training data openness", June 3rd, 2025, 3-4pm

[Francesca Musiani]

Dear colleagues,
Centre Internet et Société of CNRS is organizing a seminar on Tuesday, June
3, 2025, from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., which will be in English and by
videoconference and will be based on a report by Ramya Chandrasekhar
(CIS-CNRS) on the reuse(s) of the open web for the training of AI models.
The webinar is organised by *Ramya Chandrasekhar*
<https://cis.cnrs.fr/en/ramya_chandrasekhar/> (CIS-CNRS), with the
participation of *Mélanie Dulong de Rosnay*
<https://cis.cnrs.fr/en/melanie_dulong/> (CIS-CNRS), *Inno3*
<https://inno3.fr/> (a Paris-based consulting firm working on sustainable
open strategies), and the *Open Knowledge Foundation* <https://okfn.org/>,
in order to discuss findings from a research case-study on the reuse of
openly-licensed data for training foundation AI models.
During the webinar, presenters will discuss copyright and data protection
issues arising from reuse of openly licensed data and content from the open
web for training foundation AI models, synthesised from a repository of 41
ongoing legal controversies from multiple jurisdictions. The presenters
will also discuss new licensing initiatives for training data, that are
relevant for reciprocity and sustainability.
Join us for a timely discussion on legal strategies to protect, grow and
sustain the commons in the face of AI advancements, which are crucial for
participative governance of AI as well.
All best,
Francesca for the CIS
