Google can now use public data to help train and create AI products, according to new privacy policy changes.
As of July 1, the tech giant’s newly adjusted policy reads: “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.”
Previously, the policy only stated that publicly available information could be used to help train Google “language models” and gave a single mention of Google Translate.
