Perhaps you would not know, Google has recently secretly changed its privacy policy. This change is related to you because in this the company is going to use your information in trending its Artificial Intelligence ie AI. According to Gizmodo’s news, Google has clearly stated that the company reserves the right to scrape everything you post online to build its AI tools. If Google can read your words, assume they now belong to the company, and expect them to reside inside a chatbot somewhere.
what is said in the policy
The new privacy policy states that Google uses information to improve its services and develop new products, features and technologies that benefit our users and the general public. For example, we use publicly available information to help train Google’s AI models and build products and features such as Google Translate, Bard and Cloud AI capabilities.
history of change
Google has a history of changing its terms of service in the past as well. Previously, Google had said that the data would be used for language models rather than AI models. Where only Google Translate, Bard and Cloud AI were discussed in the old privacy policy, it is now visible.
this change is unusual
This clause is unusual in Google’s privacy policy. Typically, these policies describe the ways a business can use information you post on the company’s own services. Here, it appears that Google reserves the right to collect and use data posted on any part of the public web. Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment, Gizmodo reported.
