AI is ruining the internet
AI is ruining the internet
More like technology companies ruining internet falling over themselves to be better using AI.
Look at what zoom just did? Something that was perfectly working for me, now I have to look for alternatives.
They changed their TOS to allow themselves to license everyone’s videos for A.I. training (or anything else). One of the execs tried to say they weren’t doing that but unless they change their TOS, they can and no doubt will.
For some people, that’s a personal privacy issue but for people who have Zoom calls about, for instance, health records, it makes Zoom illegal. And even if it’s not illegal, companies use video calls for discussing proprietary information they don’t want licenses to competitors.
Zoom already does 256bit AES end-to-end encryption. From what I understand it isn’t the live calls but the files and recorded calls you save on their servers after are what they would use for AI training.
Zoom already updated their TOS a few hours ago to supposedly address the issue. gizmodo.com/zoom-ai-privacy-policy-train-on-your-…
