At this year’s Frankfurt Book Fair, CCC will feature its AI Systems Training License, a voluntary, non-exclusive collective license for training AI systems. The license provides the rights to lawfully use a wide and diverse repertoire of content for training AI systems for external use. It reduces the complexity and burden of ad hoc negotiations and offers standard terms of use. This streamlined solution supports responsible AI development and compliant use of copyrighted materials.

For more information, please visit the CCC stand at the 2025 Frankfurt Book Fair, located in Hall 4.0, D24.
