YouTube creators surprised to find Apple and others trained AI on their videos
Once again, "EleutherAI"'s data frustrates professional content creators.
AI models at #Apple, #Salesforce, #Anthropic, and other major technology players were trained on tens of thousands of YouTube videos without the creators' consent and potentially in violation of YouTube's terms, according to a new report appearing in both "Proof News" and "Wired".
The companies trained their models in part by using "the Pile," a collection by nonprofit EleutherAI that was put together as a way to offer a useful dataset to individuals or companies that don't have the resources to compete with Big Tech, though it has also since been used by those bigger companies.
