Soawning Review
Spawning (haveibeentrained.com) provides data governance tools for generative AI, letting artists opt out of AI training datasets via a Do-Not-Train registry.
Verdict
Spawning is a well-known rights-management platform in the generative AI space, operating the Have I Been Trained database that lets artists check if their work appeared in AI training sets and opt out of future training. It sits at a genuine policy and ethics intersection, making it relevant to both creators and compliant AI trainers. The site is currently under maintenance, which limits immediate usability, and its impact depends on voluntary adoption by AI labs.
