2.4  AI Training Prohibition

One of greatest risks facing creators is the unchecked misuse of their work—their content, creative work, brand, and proprietary business assets. And that risk has never been greater than it is now with artificial intelligence (AI) programs crawling the internet 24/7—scraping, screening, interpreting, obtaining, rearranging, repurposing, and furnishing the original work of brilliant creators to an untold number of AI users.

This is why InFrame has prioritized next-generation AI awareness and protection in all our Work, including our resources, articles, Products, and Site pages. It’s also why InFrame is developing an all-in-one AI Compliance Kit that shows creators 1) how to use AI tools and retain full ownership, authorship, credibility, and creative integrity in their work; 2) how to ensure AI is not using the creator or their work; 3) how to protect their work and relationships from AI; 5) how to stay compliant with AI laws; and 6) how to communicate with their community and customers about AI use, security, and creative integrity.

An integral part of AI compliance is developing a strong AI Policy and communicating that Policy to customers and Site users. The full InFrame AI Policy can be found in Part Five of these Website Terms. For this section, the part you need to know is that all Site users are prohibited from sharing, uploading, linking, or pasting any Site Content into any AI program or software—regardless of AI data settings or intent.

The basis for our blanket prohibition against using InFrame with AI is straight-forward. Like the creators we serve, we do not want our most valuable assets—our creative work, content, brand concepts, and proprietary business documents—to be fed to AI training models, scraped of source distinctions, and fed back to other users in response to an AI prompt. This is how the work of creators shows up in the feeds, platforms, and websites of others; how it becomes watered down and homogenized; how creators end up competing against versions of their very own work; and how the careful, high-quality work of creators becomes overshadowed by the on-demand, low-quality output of AI programs. This is the biggest risk all creators face building businesses online and one we are confronting head-on at InFrame Law.

To be clear, we are not opposed to creators using powerful tools to complete routine tasks. What we are opposed to is this:

• We are opposed to AI using creators and stealing their work.

• We are opposed to the homogenization and erosion of original creative work.

• We are opposed to the increasing economic and artistic burden AI places upon independent creators.

• We are opposed to the unchecked impacts of AI—environmental, psychological, cultural, and creative.  

But we are also realists. We understand that—to sustain both a living and life centered on their creative purpose—most creators have no choice but to place their work in the creator economy (through Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, and many others) to reach their audience. We also understand that no true guardrails currently exist to protect creative work in the creator economy.

What this means for most creators is clear: they can’t opt out of the AI era, but they can—they must—protect themselves. This is a foundational, missional focus of InFrame Law and influences everything we write, design, and create for our community. No matter what it is we’re creating—every article, resource, masterclass, or contract—we’ve made it as AI-proof as possible, while preserving creators’ ability to share their work with the world. Because we believe the world will not change with creators and their work.
