Google’s privacy policy shows that they can start using public information to train their AI products and services.
Google changes privacy policy for AI training
Google has changed its privacy policy. As a result, it can now leverage all publicly available data to improve its artificial intelligence (AI) services.
On July 1, the company’s privacy policy was updated. The latest version contains changes, including the addition of Google’s AI models (Bard and Cloud AI). These can be used to improve the services. This is done by using information that is publicly available online or from other public sources.
Google’s policy update makes it clear that anything publicly uploaded online can now potentially be used in the training processes of both current and future AI systems being developed by the company.
This update from Google comes shortly after OpenAI, the developer of the popular AI chatbot ChatGPT, faced a lawsuit in California.
According to the lawsuit, OpenAI used millions of social media comments, blogs, Wikipedia and other users’ personal information for ChatGPT. It did this without asking permission in advance. This violated the copyright and privacy rights of millions of internet users.
Tweet limits fuel AI rumours
Twitter’s recent change in the number of tweets users can view has sparked rumors on the internet that this has happened in part because of AI data scraping.
The developers of Twitter have stated in their documents that limits have been set. This is seen as a way to manage, among other things, the amount of requests for Application Program Interface (API) from Twitter.
Finally, Elon Musk, the owner and former CEO of Twitter, recently posted a tweet saying that the platform collected so much data that it hampered its use for ordinary users.
