Thanks for that.
Pardon me if I've missed something, but that seems to imply, but not directly state,
that AI training is a derivative work; could you clarify that?

The NBC story linked below come out about a year ago. Around the same time, when I was
CEO at Creative Commons, we published a statement and updated FAQs that attempted to
respond to questions being asked about permitted uses and attribution related to the
licenses.
CC’s statement (March 2019) is here:

There are several reports of face recognition going mainstream, often
in less than optimum circumstances, and often violating copyright and

In my opinion building a model for face recognition is a derived work,
and as such must credit the photographers. That pose a real problem
when the photographers counts in the millions and billions. Even a 1px
fine print would be troublesome!
What is the official stance on this? Is it a copyright infringement or
not, does the license(s) cover the case or not?
