The team here at Creative Commons was delighted to publicly release our<\/span> new organizational strategy<\/span><\/a> on January 22, after almost a year of intensive team, community, and board consultations. For the next several years, our focus will be to:<\/span><\/p>\n These goals are high level, as they tend to be when packaged up as part of a multi-year strategy. These goals should also feel familiar, for an organization whose mission it is to empower individuals and communities around the world through technical, legal, and policy solutions that enable the sharing of education, culture, and science in the public interest. But there are important nuances included in these goals and subsequent short-, medium-, and long-term objectives that point to intentional and meaningful shifts in the ways we operate to meet this moment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Of <\/span>course <\/span><\/i>the legal layer of the open <\/span>infrastructure<\/b>\u2014the CC licenses and legal tools themselves\u2014must be strengthened. But also, new sharing frameworks must be explored for changing times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Of <\/span>course <\/span><\/i>we must ensure the ongoing survival of the <\/span>commons<\/b>. But strategies need to evolve from solely being a sensible argument around opening up access to information. We know that greater access facilitates advances in education, in the scientific arena, and in our ability to understand and appreciate the diversity of cultural heritage that exists. However, those who previously saw the obvious benefits to sharing may now be hesitant, uncertain about how their works will be used or contextualized, through advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Finally, one might think that centering <\/span>community <\/b>goes without saying, but actually, it doesn\u2019t. As an organization that has <\/span>only <\/span><\/i>achieved what it has <\/span>because <\/span><\/i>of a strong community of advocates bringing their expertise and passion to bear, we know we cannot continue to impact the social norms and legal frameworks of sharing without full participation.<\/span><\/p>\n So what does all of this mean for our work today, and throughout this year? Since we are currently operating in the age of AI, where all content also functions as data, we are focusing our work in two key areas:<\/span><\/p>\n This focus is guided by CC\u2019s core principle: <\/span>ideas and facts should not be commodified<\/b>. As we reimagine sharing in the age of AI, we also draw on our history which reminds us to resist the reflex to expand copyright. Instead, we believe developing new norms, as part of a healthy data governance framework that prioritizes sharing in the age of AI, is the best approach to meeting our mission.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Our friends at<\/span> Open Future<\/span><\/a> define data governance as \u201chow rules for data use are created and enforced. This includes laws, standards, and social norms that guide what people can and can\u2019t do with data. Good governance ensures fair and responsible data sharing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n CC plays a unique role within data governance across the open internet. The CC licenses provide a form of legal and social norms guidance that has facilitated sharing on the internet for the last 25 years. We think of CC\u2019s role within data governance as providing critical infrastructure that enables community-driven, fair, and responsible data sharing. The challenge is that what is considered fair and responsible data sharing is not static; it evolves based on context. And while this has always been true, AI has brought issues of fairness, transparency, trust, accountability, and more to the forefront for CC and for our many collaborators and colleagues who are committed to human-centered approaches to data governance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n
