OpenAI's Hunger For Data Is Coming Back To Bite It
MIT Technology Review, April 19th, 2023
The company's AI services may be breaking data protection laws, and there is no resolution in sight.
OpenAI has just over a week to comply with European data protection laws following a temporary ban in Italy and a slew of investigations in other EU countries. If it fails, it could face hefty fines, be forced to delete data, or even be banned.
But experts have told MIT Technology Review that it will be next to impossible for OpenAI to comply with the rules. That's because of the way data used to train its AI models has been collected: by hoovering up content off the internet.
