Google can now utilize open data to assist in developing AI products, according to updated privacy policies.
“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 tech giant’s newly adjusted policy reads
Previously, Google Translate was only briefly mentioned in the policy along with the statement that publicly accessible data could be used to assist in training “language models” for Google.
The language modification implies that the business is leaning more heavily into its AI bid and that the general public’s search behavior might be a crucial element in its continued development, even though the upgrade currently doesn’t modify the user experience or directly damage Google products.
Google has teased the release of a number of AI-related products, including text-to-music creators, Google Lens features, and even AI shopping experiences.
Although Bard, Google’s AI chatbot, first received a muted reception, it has since caught up to other chatbots on the market.
The launch of new AI products has generally been hampered by worries about privacy, intellectual property, and the effects of these models on human labour and creativity.
