New Delhi, 5th July 2023: Google recently revised its privacy policies to allow the firm to gather and analyse information shared online by users in order to train its AI models.
Google claims that it will utilise this data to improve its services and create new AI-powered products.
The following is a change to Google’s privacy policy: “Google uses information to improve our services and to develop new products, features, and technologies that benefit our users and the public. For example, we use publicly available information to help train Google’s AI models and build products and features like Google Translate, Bard, and Cloud AI capabilities.”
The revised policy represents a significant tangent from Google’s previous terms of service.
Prior to the weekend’s amendment, Google’s policy said that it used user data to enhance “language” models.
Google now reserves the right to exploit user data to improve all of its “AI” models and products, including translation systems, text generation systems, and cloud AI services.
Typically, privacy regulations limit corporations from collecting data that consumers directly supply. However, Google’s new policy allows the business to use any information that consumers publicly disclose online.
