note's AI Training Demonstration Experiment and Intent Declaration Feature for AI Training
I am also interested in AI, but...
It seems that note is starting an experimental project to create a mechanism where creators can receive compensation for AI training!
I've summarized in this article that note has created a feature that allows you to set your intent regarding AI training.
Demonstration experiment to return compensation for AI training begins
It seems this is to verify a mechanism where compensation is paid when AI companies use creators' content as training data.
Based on the insights gained from this demonstration experiment, they aim to build a new ecosystem while collaborating with AI companies like Big Tech, as well as publishers and content holders.
About note's demonstration experiment and initiatives
About the demonstration experiment
We will build a mechanism to return compensation by using the content of note creators who have opted into the demonstration experiment as training data for AI companies. Only text content from creators who have opted in is eligible.
Participating creators' content will become candidates for AI training.
Compensation will be determined based on certain criteria and returned to the participating creators.
Why are we doing this initiative?
While generative AI is a powerful aid for work and creative activities, mechanisms for declaring intent regarding AI training, obtaining permission, and returning compensation are not yet fully established. Through this demonstration experiment, note aims to create new revenue opportunities for creators and content holders, and to build new rules and an ecosystem.
Also, for companies developing generative AI, it will become possible to utilize more diverse content with the cooperation of creators and content holders, which is expected to improve the quality of AI.
Future outlook
Based on the insights gained from this demonstration experiment, note will promote the establishment of rules for compensation regarding AI training.
They have also announced that they are currently in discussions with multiple publishers, content holders, and AI companies such as Big Tech, and will expand collaboration with even more stakeholders in the future.

Comments from note inc. CXO Fukatsu and CEO Kato
Comment from CXO Takayuki Fukatsu
Promoting the use of AI. Protecting creators. Doing both is note's mission.
As one of the largest platforms in Japan, I hope to make proposals that lead the entire industry so that we can act as a bridge between both sides.
Comment from CEO Sadaki Kato
AI is a very convenient tool for creation, but there are still various issues. With this attempt, we aim to solve those issues while also challenging ourselves to create new revenue sources for all creators. We would like to continue trying various things, so please feel free to participate.
There are things only humans can do, and there are parts that can be made more efficient with AI.
The comment 'Promote the use of AI and protect creators' is impressive.
So CEO Kato is also thinking about creating new revenue sources for creators.
I think this is a very interesting attempt.
Application for the demonstration experiment
Details of this demonstration experiment and how to apply are listed here↓
Text content from participating creators will be considered for AI training, and compensation will be determined and paid based on certain criteria.
(Compensation may not be provided depending on the content)
AI Training Opt-Out Feature
note has now made it possible for creators who do not want their work used for AI training to set their preferences.
Detailed instructions are provided here↓
It is said that this feature was created in response to feedback from users who were concerned about their work being used for generative AI training without permission.
I just learned about this myself, but I hope it is helpful to you😊
