#Zoom just* changed their terms and conditions to include using anyone's video and audio for training #AI with no option for opting out. You too can help train #deepfake s!

Living with a disabled spouse, I used Zoom a lot to get through the ongoing global pandemic.

What alternatives are out there for remote teaching/meetings?

[* Evidently changed by the March 31, 2023 terms of service, but I didn't notice until yesterday.]

[Thank you for all the suggestions! I had to mute the conversation because of the overwhelming replies!]

@MedievalMideast Thanks for the heads up!

Looks like the change occurred at the start of April.

Relevant section is 10.4, which lumps in machine learning training with the rest of the broad license to use customer content for the purposes of "product and service development."

Thank you for the #zoom source link @kandersonus. And with “create derivative works” right in the middle it is very clear what the limits of their terms are (none). @MedievalMideast
