TechCrunch reported on a recent change in Google's privacy settings that allows the company to store more of your data, including images, files, and audio and video recordings [1]. This update has sparked concern among some tech enthusiasts who are worried about their personal information being used for AI training. In response to this issue, ZDNet highlighted how users can opt out of Google's new policy that enables the company to use more of your data for AI training purposes [2].
The change in policy means that images, voice searches, and videos uploaded by users are now potentially usable for training Large Language Models (LLMs), which are used to power various Google services. Users have the option to disable this feature if they wish to maintain their privacy.
