According to a recent privacy policy update to Google, the company “reserves the right to scape just about everything you post online to build its AI tools.” That means if you publish something online, you should assume a robot’s going to read it and could use it for a chatbot answer.
“Google uses information to improve our services and to develop new products, features and technologies that benefit our users and the public,” the new Google policy says. “For example, we use publicly available information to help train Google’s AI models and build products and features like Google Translate, Bard, and Cloud AI capabilities.”
Fortunately for history fans, Google maintains a history of changes to its terms of service. The new language amends an existing policy, spelling out new ways your online musings might be used for the tech giant’s AI tools work.
Takeaway: Knowing that AI chatbots can now utilize the power of search engines and the internet to strengthen their responses, this shouldn’t be that shocking. But it makes for a pretty grabby headline that will cause concerns among the not-really-online population. Keeping your internet footprint up to date and accurate has never been more important.
