I was just reading a newsletter on AI when I spotted this piece:
“Google is giving web publishers the choice to prevent their content from being used to train its Bard AI and future models. To opt out, publishers need to adjust their site’s robots.txt file to disallow “User-Agent: Google-Extended.” Although Google states it develops AI ethically, this feature arrives after the company has already trained models on large amounts of web data without explicit consent. VP of Trust Danielle Romain, emphasizes the move is to help improve Bard and Vertex AI generative APIs, but critics argue this is a post-facto attempt to appear ethical. Medium, among others, is blocking such crawlers until a more nuanced solution emerges.”
