Online media brands, including Yahoo, Quora and Medium, are taking a new step to prevent AI companies from copying and using their content to train models without their permission.The publishers, including CNET’s parent company Ziff Davis, see this new tool, called RSL, as another way to ensure large AI developers don’t use their work without payment or compensation — an issue that’s already led to a host of lawsuits. RSL, which stands for Really Simple Licensing, is inspired by Really Simple Syndication, a longtime web standard that provides up-to-date and automatic content updates in a computer-readable format.
