Partner with IWF upfront to prevent illegal content in AI datasets
By
–
Partner with IWF upfront, not when problem arise! LAION knew about the risks of illegal content (e.g. child abuse) being in their dataset. It would have been sensible to partner with professional organizations like IWF to check files *before* publishing the dataset.

LAION criticized for partnering with questionable data hosting site
By
–
Don't partner with dubious websites to host files! LAION shouldn't have requested TheEye, a questionable "archival" website, to host their data in order for them to link to it! Maybe instead get approval from platforms like HF so they share legal responsibility for hosting.

LAION Should Disclose User Agent Strings and IP Addresses
By
–
Announce user agent and IP addresses upfront. It's industry-standard for search engines to disclose their User Agent strings before starting operations, and also a list of IP addresses doing the crawling. LAION could have done this in a public manner upfront.
