OpenAI will honor shared robots.txt signal for AI training preferences
OpenAI: Making it easier for websites to express AI training preferences
OpenAI will honor a shared robots.txt signal to help website operators communicate their AI training preferences to participating providers.
Get smart on it
OpenAI announced support for a common signal in robots.txt that allows website operators to communicate their preferences about using content for foundational generative AI training to multiple AI providers at once. Previously, website operators had to identify individual crawlers and maintain separate rules for each provider, so this shared signal reduces that administrative burden. The effort is based on ongoing work by the Internet Engineering Task Force's AI Preferences working group, and OpenAI plans to implement the signal in the coming months while continuing to respect existing crawler controls that websites can already set.
