To be clear, I dont mind zoom using data from their service to train "their AI models", particularly where these are transparent and specific.
I was more concerned about the wording, which implied they would give themselves the right to use the data to train "AI models" more generally.
I have few problems with them building a better noise cancelling solution for their platform, but lots of problems with them selling it for improving third party surveillance and fingerprinting.
- theptip 3y agoIf you discuss proprietary information you should be very concerned about Zoom training their models on that. Especially when they pivot into generative AI (which is the obvious use case if you have that much conversation data flowing through your system). LLMs can regurgitate training data unpredictably so you really can’t have any enterprise data flowing through such a system. I guess my point is that “their AI models” will very likely include more than noise cancelling before too long. It’s too juicy a dataset to ignore.
- tpoacher 3y agoYes. That's pretty much what I mean by "specific and transparent". Provide me with clear uses, and the ability to withdraw or restrict my data contribution in the event of the company deciding to "expand" to other AI "solutions", and I'll feel respected as a user and allow that specific use of my data for training. But reply with vagueness giving them a carte-blanche to use my data on anything under the sun, and I'm just gonna look somewhere else and encourage others to do the same.
