Websites are increasingly using user-generated content to train AI models, raising concerns about the inclusion of sensitive or private data. In a recent case, Tumblr's potential data sharing included private posts, deleted or suspended blogs, unanswered questions, private answers, explicit content, and premium partner content. To address privacy concerns, an opt-out tool is being developed to prevent data usage for AI training by third parties. However, the effectiveness of this tool relies on the compliance of AI companies to remove opted-out content. This highlights the challenge of balancing data leverage for innovation with individual privacy protection. The situation underscores the need for companies to navigate ethical considerations and for users to decide their role in this data-sharing ecosystem. Furthermore, the case involving Open AI and the New York Times sheds light on legal challenges arising from alleged deceptive prompting for evidence of copyright infringement in AI training.
