The AIETF arrives, and not a moment too soon

The IETF announced their new AI Preferences Working Group (AIPREF), which will <em> "work on standardizing building blocks that allow for the expression of preferences about how content is collected and processed for Artificial Intelligence models" </em> . This is quite well timed; the IETF tries not to standardise too early before there is running code but also needs to move before it's too late and a bad defacto standard is chosen.
