The Open Data Ownership License (ODOL) 18.0 is a global, transparent, and legally robust framework designed to protect user data and establish clear boundaries for AI providers. It ensures that individuals and businesses retain full ownership of their input and output data, while promoting responsible and transparent data practices within the AI industry.
- π‘οΈ Protect User Rights: Users maintain ownership of their intellectual contributions when interacting with AI systems.
- βοΈ Ensure Legal Clarity: Provides a clear structure for dispute resolution and compliance across jurisdictions.
- π§ Promote Ethical AI Use: Introduces rigorous standards for auditing, anonymization, and data deletion.
- π Facilitate Global Adoption: Aligns with GDPR, CCPA, PIPL, ISO/IEC 27701, NIST SP 800-53, and other international regulations.
ODOL 18.0 introduces the following core principles:
- User Ownership: Users own all non-public data they provide, as well as generated content reflecting original ideas.
- Transparent Metadata Handling: Metadata collection is allowed solely for system performance optimization with strict anonymization.
- Right to Erasure: Users can request deletion of their data, including model training sets, with proof of compliance.
- Internationally Recognized Standards: Built upon standards from ISO/IEC, NIST, IEEE, and GDPR.
- Accountability & Transparency: Mandates independent audits, public reports, and strict penalties for non-compliance.
As AI technology evolves, concerns around data ownership, misuse, and privacy grow. ODOL 18.0 provides a solid foundation to:
- Prevent unauthorized data usage.
- Offer a standardized approach for AI developers and companies.
- Empower individuals to maintain control over their data contributions.
- Align AI operations with ethical and legal standards.
We welcome collaboration from privacy advocates, AI researchers, legal professionals, and the broader tech community. To get started:
- Review the CONTRIBUTING.md document for guidelines on participation.
- Open an issue to report bugs, propose features, or seek clarification on the license or its implementation.
- Participate in discussions on applying AI data practices in compliance with privacy-first principles and global standards (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, ISO/IEC 27701).
- Follow the coding standards, privacy requirements, and security protocols outlined in the documentation.
- Submit pull requests with clear, descriptive commit messages and references to related issues when applicable.
Key Guidelines:
- Compliance: Adhere to GDPR, CCPA, PIPL, and ISO/IEC 27701 standards.
- Code Quality: Maintain clean, well-documented, and efficient code.
- Privacy-First Approach: Ensure that implementations prioritize user data privacy.
Contributors must submit code that meets the ODOL requirements, including proper use of cosine similarity thresholds, Ξ΅-Differential Privacy protocols, and audit-friendly practices.
