European research: 97 percent of Dutch websites do not explicitly prohibit AI training
Key Points
- 97 percent of Dutch websites do not obstruct data collection for AI training.
- Less than 10 percent of the websites have made a conscious and clear choice regarding AI training.
- Research conducted across Europe showed that most of the websites exhibit an ambiguous attitude toward data usage.
By the Numbers
A study conducted across Europe revealed that websites originating from the Netherlands do not demonstrate a clear stance regarding the use of data for training artificial intelligence language models. Less than 10 percent of the websites have made a conscious choice on this matter.
Since the majority of the remaining sites do not specify any restriction or blocking method, they are effectively considered to have allowed AI models to use their content for training purposes. This situation brings to light the lack of awareness among content creators and platforms regarding data usage rights.
However, the research also indicates that this high permission rate is not as simple or negligent a situation as it might appear at first glance. Considering the technological infrastructure, legal dimensions, and technical capabilities of website owners, the situation is evaluated to have a more complex structure.
