CAWG training and data mining assertion
An assertion from the Creator Assertions Working Group that travels inside a C2PA manifest and states the creator's preference about AI training and data mining for that specific asset. Because it is signed into the file, it survives copying in a way a robots.txt rule cannot.
What CAWG training and data mining assertion does not show
Attaching it requires signing the asset, which almost no publishing pipeline does, so adoption rather than validity is the limit; it also binds only readers who look inside manifests, which crawlers largely do not.
