Google's updated privacy notice includes AI data scraping

Google’s updated privacy policy explicitly permits the use of publicly available information to train in-house AI models. This shift has sparked significant concern among users regarding the extent to which their personal data, such as names or business details found in public sources, is being harvested for artificial intelligence development. For open data advocates, this practice highlights the complex boundary between public information and individual privacy. It raises critical questions about consent and attribution when open data serves as the foundational fuel for proprietary AI systems, potentially impacting how open datasets are perceived and protected in an era of aggressive machine learning.
