ML/AI Usage Tags Recipe

Use case

Similar to the initiatives crafted by other content communities in efforts to limit the scraping of images and text using “noai” and “noimageai” meta HTML tags, users of the IIIF APIs may consider implementing a set of tags within their IIIF manifests to help better regulate ML/AI content scraping and non-consented or attributed use of IIIF powered content in ML/AI applications.

These tags were initially proposed during the 2024 IIIF Annual Conference.

Overview of Initial Tags Proposed

For use within requiredStatement for humans and rights for machines.

Using language and standards based on larger Creative Community’s (DevianArt & others) “noai” and “noimageai” HTML tags, and licenses from RightsStatements.org:

• No AI
  • no image or textual ML/AI at all
• No Image AI
  • no image-based ML/AI, but textual (metadata, ocr, transcript) use ok
• Regulated AI
  • ML/AI Use Permitted - with attribution
  • ML/AI Use Permitted - with express written consent and attribution

Still Needed / work in progress

• Corresponding URIs for using within rights
• Implementation variations for a simple use cases (apply per manifest) versus complex uses casses (apply per item/canvas)
