All AI technologies must be trained, regardless of whether they will be generating texts, images or videos. The Internet has been the primary source of this information, but many cases show that the data must be controlled. YouTube has now gone public to warn that OpenAI should not use its videos to train Sora and ChatGPT, as they violate its rules.
YouTube doesn't want to use OpenAI for its videos
There are many cases where big tech companies have blocked AI services from accessing their public information. The idea was to use this data to feed AI engines and thus make these systems learn, with coordinated and useful information so that the services could then work.
This scenario illustrates a strong legal issue that could cause problems in the future depending on the information used. Data sources are widespread across the Internet and easy to access, simply by directing learning systems to these locations, something that has already been done in the past.
Maybe use Sora and ChatGPT scripts
The real question is the extent of the legitimacy of these operations with services and information owners. YouTube's CEO has now warned OpenAI that it cannot use videos from that service to carry out such learning processes. This wake-up call came to light recently In an interview Presented by Neil Mohan.
In that conversation, the CEO of YouTube revealed that this service does not allow downloading texts or parts of the video, and this is a clear violation of the terms of service. These are the rules set by Google's content terms of service on its platform.
Google may have used this method in teaching
These statements come after the Wall Street Journal interviewed Mira Moratti, CTO of OpenAI, last month. At the time, the person in charge wasn't sure or clear about the origin of Sora's training data. Hence, this alert appears to have been well-aimed and more than just a coincidence.
Interestingly, the New York Times has now also revealed that this use existed, but it was not exclusive to OpenAI. Google itself also used these YouTube videos to feed and teach its own artificial intelligence, Gemini, thus violating the same rules it accused its rival of doing.
