Regional laws applying to an asset may prohibit, constrain, or allow data mining for certain purposes (such as search indexing or research), and may overrule the value selected for this property. Similarly, the absence of a prohibition does not indicate that the asset owner grants permission for data mining or any other use of an asset. The prohibition “Prohibited except for search engine indexing” only permits data mining by search engines available to the public to identify the URL for an asset and its associated data (for the purpose of assisting the public in navigating to the URL for the asset), and prohibits all other uses, such as AI/ML training.

    buttonGroup.alignment = ["right", "top"];
    var okButton = buttonGroup.add("button", undefined, "OK");
    var cancelButton = buttonGroup.add("button", undefined, "Cancel");

    // Show the dialog
    if (dialog.show() == 1) {
        var contVocabEntry = dropdownValues[dropdown.selection.index];

        if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript === undefined) ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript");
        var xmp = new XMPMeta(activeDocument.xmpMetadata.rawData);

        if (contVocabEntry === "") {
            xmp.deleteProperty("http://ns.useplus.org/ldf/xmp/1.0/", "DataMining");
        } else {
            xmp.setProperty("http://ns.useplus.org/ldf/xmp/1.0/", "DataMining", "https://ns.useplus.org/ldf/vocab/" + contVocabEntry);
        }

        app.activeDocument.xmpMetadata.rawData = xmp.serialize();

        alert("Data Mining Permission set to: " + "\r" + dropdown.selection.text);
    }
} else {
    alert("A document must be open to run this script!");
}

This example Photoshop script will clear and add the AI/ML data mining "prohibited" metadata entry to an open document.

Some example ExifTool (12.67) commands:

exiftool -XMP-plus:DataMining='https://ns.useplus.org/ldf/vocab/DMI-ALLOWED' 'pathToFileOrFolder'

exiftool -XMP-plus:DataMining='https://ns.useplus.org/ldf/vocab/DMI-PROHIBITED-AIMLTRAINING' 'pathToFileOrFolder'

exiftool -XMP-plus:DataMining='https://ns.useplus.org/ldf/vocab/DMI-PROHIBITED-GENAIMLTRAINING' 'pathToFileOrFolder'

exiftool -XMP-plus:DataMining='https://ns.useplus.org/ldf/vocab/DMI-PROHIBITED-EXCEPTSEARCHENGINEINDEXING' 'pathToFileOrFolder'

exiftool -XMP-plus:DataMining='https://ns.useplus.org/ldf/vocab/DMI-PROHIBITED' 'pathToFileOrFolder'

exiftool -XMP-plus:DataMining= 'pathToFileOrFolder'

(Windows users would swap out the single-straight quotes ' for double-straight quotes ")

I'll need to see if it is possible to script Photoshop or Bridge to add such metadata...

Of course, this depends on machine learning companies to support and honour such metadata entries excluding them from training their services on your data (yeah, I know).
