Apple, Nvidia, Anthropic Used YouTube Videos to Train AI Without Consent
Jul 16, 2024, 02:20 PM
A recent investigation by Proof News has revealed that major tech companies, including Apple, Nvidia, and Anthropic, have used thousands of YouTube videos to train their AI models without the consent of the content creators. The dataset, which includes subtitles from over 170,000 YouTube videos, was reportedly downloaded by EleutherAI and included in a dataset called 'the Pile.' This practice has sparked a debate over consent and copyright, with many creators, including popular YouTubers like MKBHD and MrBeast, expressing concerns over the unauthorized use of their content. The investigation highlights the ethical implications of using publicly available data for AI training without explicit permission from the original content creators. The dataset also included videos from prominent sources such as WSJ, NPR, and BBC, and was used to train models like Anthropic's Claude.
