Search Engine Land · Microsoft AI CEO: Web content is 'freeware'Mustafa Suleyman believes almost all web content can be used for AI training unless explicitly restricted by the creator.

“…With respect to content that is already on the open web, the social contract of that content since the ’90s has been that it is fair use. Anyone can copy it, recreate with it, reproduce with it. That has been freeware, if you like. That’s been the understanding."
