It is now openly stated in Google’s updated privacy policy that they can use all of your online activity to feed Bard, a rival AI model of ChatGPT.
It’s strange that the change applies to everything you do online when you’re in a public place rather than just the data you send to its services.
In essence, and as the pages in charge of keeping a historical record of this type of modifications show, Google has modified its terms to include Bard. Google’s new policy states that the company “uses the information to improve our services and create new products, features, and technologies that benefit our users and the public.” “For example, we use publicly accessible data to help train Google’s AI models and develop features and products like Google Translate, Google Bard, and cloud AI capabilities.” The change in claims has been confirmed by a corporate representative to The Verge.
Google did not mention Bard, Google Translate or Cloud AI in the previous version of this text; only reference was made to “language models”. This new policy is peculiar because it appears to apply to all publicly accessible online content, including searches you perform on questionable-looking pages with naked people on them and content hosted on Google services, not just content hosted on those services.
Whether or not this practice is appropriate is a matter of considerable controversy. Even well-known sites and services like Reddit have begun to take action in an effort to stem AI’s voracious appetite for their content. According to Elon Musk, the most recent Twitter viewing restrictions that have drawn so much criticism are also aimed at slowing down the development of AI.
