OpenAI Introduces 'Media Manager' Tool to Address Creator Concerns Over AI Training

Slated for 2025, the new tool aims to give artists and content creators more control over the use of their work in AI development.

Media Manager will allow creators to specify how their content is used in AI training, offering options to opt out.
The initiative responds to ongoing lawsuits and criticism over AI models trained without explicit consent.
OpenAI collaborates with creators, content owners, and regulators to potentially set an industry standard.
Experts question if the tool will simplify the opt-out process or add to the complexity of digital rights management.
Competing opt-out systems by other companies highlight a fragmented approach to addressing creators’ rights.
