AI is ruining the internet - Lemmy.world

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.

Only thing I heard about zoom is their back to office?

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.

Apparently they did:

As of Monday afternoon, [section 10.4] has a new paragraph in bold below it: "Notwithstanding the above, Zoom will not use audio, video or chat Customer Content to train our artificial intelligence models without your consent.”

How exactly they obtain customer “consent” isn’t disclosed.

The video-conferencing firm says 'we do not use audio, video, or chat content for training our models without customer consent.'

you agreed to the TOS, therefore they have your consent.
