The current expectation for AI-specific release language for Data is diabolical
I’ll be candid: one of the biggest challenges here has been the expectation of AI-training-specific releases for material captured long before AI training was even part of the conversation.
For archives produced prior to 2022, that creates a practical mismatch between what exists in the historical record and what buyers now expect for training use.
I’ve spent a significant amount of time trying to bridge that gap, and I want to be honest that it’s frustrating to run into AI-specific release requirements for material created years before AI training was ever a consideration.
That said, I’ve finalized a work around the staging of a new 25,312-asset fashion and lifestyle RAW archive that is privacy-processed, documented, and ready for review. I BLURRED THE FACES .
If your team thinks there may still be a path forward on any bundle where the documentation aligns, I’d be happy to discuss it.
Access: Data is staged in AWS S3: s3://bws-delivery-payloads-2026
Documentation: Manifests, copyright authority, and compliance materials are available at the bucket root
Integrity: 100% original captures, BWS-owned, face-neutralized, and prepared for multi-modal training
