Bluesky, a decentralized social network, is creating a framework that gives users control over how their data is used in generative AI.

The move addresses concerns over public content being used for AI training, as seen when a dataset of Bluesky posts appeared on Hugging Face.

Bluesky’s proposal on GitHub enables users to set AI permissions at the account or post level, requiring companies to respect these settings.

This effort aligns with broader industry discussions on AI data use, as Bluesky has expanded to over 32 million users and commits to not training its own AI on user data.
