Add Support for IPTC/PLUS Coalition - Generative AI/ML training Metadata

[Stephen_A_Marsh]

I believe that it would be a good thing to add native File Info support for the following to Adobe products via File Info and Metadata Templates:

https://iptc.org/news/exclude-images-from-generative-ai-iptc-photo-metadata-standard-2023-1/

Caveats: Not for Adobe Stock and this requires that the embedded metadata is not stripped out  :]

[Stephen_A_Marsh]

Some example ExifTool (12.67) commands:

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

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'

(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).

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

Here it is for selected files in Bridge:
