From Signals to Infrastructure: Strengthening the Commons for the AI Era
Licenses & Tools, Policy
We recently shared an update on the evolution of CC signals. As AI systems increasingly extract value from the commons without adequate consent, attribution, or transparency, sustaining a healthy commons requires stronger governance and accountability. This reflects a shift in our approach: from expressing preferences to rebalancing power to protect the commons. In this post, we outline our plans to build upon and strengthen CC signals in order to support our goal of sustained access to human knowledge. We do not have all the answers yet. What we do have is a framework for how we will work toward them.
