When the Terms of Service Change to Make Way for A.I. Training
What is the purpose of using public posts by Meta?
Meta uses public posts on Facebook and Instagram to train its large language models (LLMs) and other AI tools. This practice helps improve AI systems and develop new AI-powered features and experiences for users.
What minor changes are made to terms of service?
Minor changes to terms of service can include modifying a few words, adding new sections to explain features like generative AI models, and clarifying data access policies. For example, Snap warned users not to share confidential information with its AI chatbot, and Meta alerted European users that their public posts would be used for AI training.
How do generative A.I. models use user data?
Generative AI models use user data to train and improve their performance. They learn from patterns and relationships in the data, and generate new content based on user prompts. Access to diverse and extensive data helps these models produce more accurate and creative outputs.
