Summary
- Calliope Networks has created a program, “License to Scrape,” aimed at allowing AI companies to legally access and use YouTube content for training.
- The program requires YouTube creators to enter into a contract with Calliope, who will then sublicense their work out for AI model training.
- The License to Scrape format is modeled after blanket licenses in the entertainment industry and aims to attract a critical mass of content for AI players.
- While there are no marquee names endorsing the license yet, influencer marketing agencies like Viral Nation are working on getting clients on board.
