Google has made a significant change to its privacy policy, explicitly stating that publicly available information can be collected and used by its AI technology, including the Bard AI. This adjustment has raised concerns about privacy, plagiarism, and the broader implications of large-scale data scraping by tech giants like Google.
Details of the Privacy Policy Update:
Google’s privacy policy now includes a section acknowledging the collection of information from publicly accessible sources to train its AI models and develop products like Google Translate, Bard, and Cloud AI capabilities. Previously, the policy mentioned the use of publicly available information solely for training “language models” and specifically referenced Google Translate.
