Some open source licenses are fine with AI training, eg. MIT No Attribution https://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit-0/ and BSD Zero Clause https://choosealicense.com/licenses/0bsd/

My view is that it's good to allow AI training to use your code. This democratises AI models, otherwise AI will be the exclusive preserve of wealthy corporations. So I say, let's license our code under permissive, no attribution licences!

Developers are free to do so, if they want that. But that doesn't make it OK to train an AI on code not under such licenses.

[tlocke]

Agreed, AI training should respect the licence of the code it's being trained on.

I default to MIT license for anything open source that I make for 2 reasons. Firstly it’s compatible with pretty much every other license, and secondly it is written in clear, simple, unambiguous plain English.
