oogle has updated its privacy policy in which it stated that it can use publicly available data to help train its artificial intelligence models.
The tech giant changed the wording of its policy over the weekend and switched AI models for language models.
In its privacy policy archive page, Google updated the changes, saying For example, we may collect information that's publicly available online or from other public sources to help train Google's languageAI models and build products and features like Google Translate, Bard, and Cloud AI capabilities. Or, if your business's information appears on a website, we may index and display it on Google services.
With the new policy, Google is informing people that anything they publicly post online can be used to train Bard, future versions and other generative AI products it develops.
Critics have expressed concerns about companies' use of publicly available information to train large language models for generative AI use.
