US 2026/0189387 A1 · PROTECTING CONTENT FROM GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Abstract

The present technology introduces a simple to use interface that integrates a mechanism to protect content items from use by one or more machine learning algorithms into interfaces of a content management system. In this way, the present technology can make it easy to protect content items where they are stored. The present technology protects against this use by providing options to obfuscate content in a way that can confound artificial intelligence systems during both training and use of the artificial intelligence systems. Additionally, the present technology can control access to content items shared using a link. The content management system can determine not to serve content items when requested by known artificial intelligence systems or services that train them. The present technology can also include automatic content protection rules that can cause the content management system to automatically protect content items when the content item is to be shared.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, by a content management system, a request to access a content item stored in association with a user account, wherein the content item includes original content that is visible to a human viewer;
determining, by the content management system and based on one or more request characteristics, whether access to the content item presents a risk of use by an artificial intelligence system or a service used to train an artificial intelligence system;
based on the determination, causing the original content of the content item to be replaced by an alternative representation of the content item that is configured to inhibit or confound one or more artificial intelligence systems;
and
providing the alternative representation of the content item in response to the request.

2 more elements

A system comprising:

at least one processor;
and
a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
receive, by a content management system, a request to access a content item stored in association with a user account, wherein the content item includes original content that is visible to a human viewer;
determine, by the content management system and based on one or more request characteristics, whether access to the original content presents a risk of use by an artificial intelligence system or a service used to train an artificial intelligence system;
based on the determination, cause the original content of the content item to be replaced by an alternative representation of the content item that is configured to inhibit or confound one or more artificial intelligence systems;
and
provide the alternative representation of the content item in response to the request.

5 more elements

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

receive, by a content management system, a request to access a content item stored in association with a user account, wherein the content item includes original content that is visible to a human viewer;
determine, by the content management system and based on one or more request characteristics, whether access to the original content presents a risk of use by an artificial intelligence system or a service used to train an artificial intelligence system;
based on the determination, cause the original content of the content item to be replaced by an alternative representation of the content item that is configured to inhibit or confound one or more artificial intelligence systems;
and
provide the alternative representation of the content item in response to the request.
