This is another update from Creative Commons signaling their shift from helping people access open content to helping copyright holders put conditions on access to their formerly open content. Specifically, they are "are advocating for the development and usage of carefully scoped AI opt-outs" and "doing research and development for a new tool designed to enable conditional access." If they're going to do this, I don't see why they don't just join ODRL or some other digital rights management (DRM) consortium. What they're doing has nothing to do with open access any more, and everything to do with locking down content. If Creative Commons were really interested in open access, they'd be thinking about how to enable free and open access language models everyone can use, so we don't have to pay multinationals to apply mathematics to content repositories.
