According to Creative Commons, "through engagement with a wide variety of stakeholders, we heard frustrations with the 'all or nothing' choices they seemed to face with copyright...  way of making requests about some uses, not enforceable through the licenses, but an indication of the creators' wishes." In particular, they want to be able to limit the use of their work to train AI. I commented in a meeting today that it was telling that this, of all possible preferences, is the one that surfaced as most significant. I would rank 'use of content to create weapons' or 'use of content to undermine social good' as more significant preferences. I also commented that, without access to open content, AI will be created and trained exclusively by commercial entities with licnesing agreements, which will mean there is no possibility of an open artificial intelligence.
