It "proposes an analysis of the systemic impact of AI systems, and in particular ones based on Machine Learning models, on the Web, and the role that Web standardization may play in managing that impact". As usual, W3C is seeking input from the community and the paper gives access to a discussion repository.

It seems that this discussion followed the release of a post titled Considerations for AI Opt-Out (April 2024) by M.Nottingham. I also discovered the trust.txt specification from the JournalList association, which recently added a `datatrainingallowed` ("yes"/"no") property to their model.
