We are starting an experimental project to create a system where creators can receive compensation for AI training!

We are starting a trial to create a system where creators are appropriately compensated when their posts on note are collected as AI training data! To balance "advancements in AI technology" with "protecting creators' works," we are looking for creators to participate in this trial.

Trial Process
1. Register your note account via the form
2. Content posted on note becomes a candidate for AI training by AI companies
3. The compensation amount is determined based on certain criteria and provided via Amazon Gift Cards

Reason for this project

Under current Japanese copyright law, generative AI companies are proceeding with training based on the understanding that using copyrighted works for AI training does not, in principle, constitute an infringement of rights. On the other hand, there are opinions such as "my work is being used for AI training without permission" and "creators should be paid appropriate compensation," and some view that there is not yet sufficient consensus in terms of law and practice.

For the note community to be a place where everyone can publish the works they have created with peace of mind, we believe the following two things are necessary.

• Being able to choose whether or not to have your work used for AI training (Intent Declaration Feature)

• Receiving appropriate compensation if your work is used for AI training

Services that have realized a system for receiving compensation for AI training are still rare globally, and we are also in a process of trial and error. We want to find the optimal method while engaging in dialogue with all of you!
