Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
Hollywood actors George Clooney, Tom Hanks, and Meryl Streep are backing a new AI licensing standard called the "Human Consent Standard," which builds on the Really Simple Licensing (RSL) Standard. This framework allows individuals to set terms for how AI systems can use their likeness, creative works, characters, and designs — ranging from full permission to restricted access or complete denial. The standard aims to give creators control over their intellectual property in the age of generative AI.
