OpenAI, Google, and Meta Alleged to Have Overstepped Legal Boundaries for Training AI

April 6, 2024

In the closing months of 2021, tech titans such as OpenAI, Google, and Meta were embroiled in data collection controversies. OpenAI's Whisper tool, designed to transcribe more than a million hours of YouTube videos, may have breached YouTube’s terms of service due to questionable practices. In a similar predicament, Google could face copyright infringement charges for transcribing YouTube content. Furthermore, Meta has been scrutinized for exploring methods to summarize copyrighted texts without explicit consent and considering the acquisition of Simon & Schuster for data access. This raises concerns about safe and secure AI practices.

For those interested in shaping the future of responsible AI governance, consider joining Project Cerebellum and contributing to the HISPI Project Cerebellum TAIM (Govern) effort to establish robust guardrails for AI development.
