- The company can now use any public information
- This data will be used to train artificial intelligence products and services
On July 1, tech giant Google updated its privacy policy. The company will now be able to use any publicly available data to train artificial intelligence.
First, the firm updated a section of its privacy policy that dealt with data use for commercial purposes, research and improving Translate services. But now it has this:
“Google uses the information available to improve its services and develop new products, features, and technologies that are popular with users and benefit the community.. This includes using publicly available information to train artificial intelligence models such as Google Translate, Bard and Cloud AI.”
Google made this update shortly after OpenAI, developer of the popular ChatGPT chatbot, was the subject of a class action lawsuit in California, where it was accused of collecting private user information. At the time, the lawsuit claimed that the company improperly used data from millions of comments on social networks, blogs, Wikipedia and other personal data of users, without obtaining consent.
Long ago, Elon Musk announced the temporary restrictions for readers and explained that this was necessary to reduce the load on the system. In his message, he pointed out that the platform was collecting so much data and it was negatively affecting the service for regular users.
