Google will use everything you’ve ever posted on the internet to train its AI

Over the weekend, Google made an update to its privacy policy, explicitly stating that it has the right to scrape and utilize almost everything you post online in order to train its AI tools.

The updated policy indicates that if Google has access to your words, it considers them as belonging to the company, and it is highly likely that they are being used to train AI models and stored within their chatbot systems.

You don’t own your own content
The new Google policy emphasizes the use of information to improve their services and develop new products, features, and technologies that benefit users and the general public. It specifically mentions utilizing publicly available information to train Google’s AI models and create products like Google Translate, Bard, and Cloud AI capabilities.

This updated language modifies an existing policy, expanding the ways in which your online content may be utilized for Google’s AI tools. Previously, the data was mentioned to be used for “language models,” but now it encompasses “AI models.” Additionally, while the older policy only referenced Google Translate, the new additions include Bard and Cloud AI.

A Joke For Privacy and Copyright Laws
This clause in Google’s privacy policy is quite unusual. Typically, privacy policies describe how a business utilizes the information posted on its own services. However, in this case, Google seems to reserve the right to collect and leverage data from any part of the public web, treating the entire internet as its own AI playground. At the time of this statement, Google has not responded to a request for comment regarding this matter.

Google maintains a record of changes made to its terms of service, and the recent update includes new language that modifies an existing policy. The updated policy specifies additional ways in which the data you share online may be utilized for Google’s AI tools.

Not just written text, even photos and videos are fair game
Previously, Google’s policy stated that the data would be used “for language models.” However, the revised policy now refers to “AI models.” Furthermore, while the earlier version only mentioned Google Translate, the updated policy introduces the inclusion of Bard and Cloud AI.

This clause in Google’s privacy policy deviates from the norm and is considered unusual. Typically, privacy policies outline how a company utilizes the information users post on their own platforms. However, in this case, it appears that Google asserts the right to collect and employ data from any part of the public web, treating the entire internet as its AI playground. As of now, Google has not provided an immediate response to a request for comment on this matter.
