Apple allegedly utilized films featuring prominent individuals without obtaining necessary permissions to train its artificial intelligence models. The tech giant’s AI coaches were fed a steady diet of unlicensed content, including late-night talk show episodes and other movies, sparking concerns over intellectual property violations.

Synthetic intelligence platforms don’t suddenly emerge fully formed and ready to operate independently? Children learn best through play, just as puppies do. By providing chosen data to algorithms, one enables the system to deliver accurate solutions through training and refinement of its decision-making processes. We previously notified you in April that licensing content from prominent media companies, including NBC News, Condé Nast (publisher of Vogue, Vanity Fair, and GQ), and IAC (publisher of Match.com, OKCupid, and Tinder) is essential for AI training.

As conversations unfold, a notion has emerged suggesting that Apple and other major companies may have exploited content from YouTube videos. According to the latest findings, a third party has compiled a comprehensive database of subtitles extracted from more than 170,000 films. Films featuring collaborations between renowned tech critic Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) and popular comedians Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel are showcased in this collection.

Subtitles from approximately 173,536 YouTube videos have been leveraged by top tech companies in Silicon Valley, including Anthropic, Nvidia, Apple, and Salesforce. The downloads were reportedly accomplished by EleutherAI, an organization that enables developers to hone their AI models. The primary objective, following the report’s release, was to develop educational resources and training materials specifically designed for smaller construction companies and educators.

Despite the limitations, large corporations like Apple have leveraged EleutherAI’s YouTube Subtitles dataset, comprising plain text transcripts devoid of visual elements. The latter also includes translations in various languages, such as Japanese, German, and Arabic alike. YouTube’s Subtitles feature integrates content from more than 12,000 films, including some that have since been removed from the platform. An anonymous filmmaker unexpectedly discovered that his deleted films were still embedded within certain artificial intelligence models, leaving him perplexed as to how his work persisted despite his efforts to erase it from the digital landscape.

Without explicit consent, none of the YouTube creators were asked permission to allow their videos be used to train AI models. While some AI group members have faced lawsuits for using content without permission, companies like Open AI and Meta have justified their actions by citing the Fair Use doctrine, which allows for unlicensed use of copyrighted materials under specific circumstances?
