Etsy 新条款允许用卖家内容训练 AI
Etsy’s new terms let it train AI on sellers’ listings with no clear US opt-out, while barring outside AI firms from its data
Etsy 更新条款将于 12 月 16 日生效，允许公司及其合作方和供应商使用卖家的商品图片、描述、评论和论坛帖子训练 AI 模型。条款提到退出权，但条款和隐私政策均未给美国卖家提供在不影响继续销售的前提下排除内容的方式，且授权不过期，删除商品可能也无法终止。Etsy 称这些内容用于改进卖家工具、搜索和欺诈检测，同时禁止外部公司未经许可用其数据训练 AI，并保留阻止 AI 购物代理的权利。
Etsy 新条款把卖家商品内容纳入 AI 训练范围，美国站卖家可据此核对退出机制与授权期限。
Etsy’s updated terms, which take effect December 16, let the company and its partners and vendors use sellers’ listing photos, descriptions, reviews, and forum posts to train AI models, according to Liz Morton at Value Added Resource. The terms mention opt-out rights, but neither the terms nor the privacy policy gives US sellers a way to keep their content out of training while still selling, and since the license never expires, deleting a listing may not end it. Etsy said it wants the content to improve seller tools, search, and fraud detection. At the same time, Etsy is barring outside companies from training AI on its data without permission and reserving the right to block AI shopping agents, which may have to identify themselves and whoever they act for.
