In a nutshell: if you licensed your content as CC-by it has probably been used to train AI. The story, of course, is that not all open content advocates are comfortable with this. "I think I'm coming down on the side of accepting that openness means content being used by AI or whatever sites deem to harvest it," writes Martin Weller. The point may be moot in any case - it may turn out that using content to train AI is fair use. But I think advocates of open content are on much firmer ground when they advocate for open-access AI.
