Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai recently stated that he is prepared to address the potential conflict of using digital content in AI training if it is found that the Microsoft-backed startup OpenAI is improperly using YouTube content. This highlights the potential conflicts of using digital content in training AI models.
Google will investigate OpenAI’s use of YouTube content. There is uncertainty surrounding OpenAI’s data usage.
During an interview with CNBC, Sundar Pichai was asked if Google would take legal action if it was confirmed that OpenAI used YouTube videos without authorization to train its AI models. Pichai did not commit to taking legal action but emphasized that Google would work with OpenAI to “resolve” the issue and ensure compliance with their terms of service. This statement came after OpenAI’s technical lead, Mira Murati, admitted in March that it was uncertain whether YouTube videos were included in the training data for their new AI model, Sora.
The controversy originated from Murati’s statement to The Wall Street Journal, where she mentioned using publicly available and licensed data for training. However, subsequent reports, including The New York Times, suggested that OpenAI may have transcribed over a million hours of YouTube videos, raising questions about copyright law and compliance with terms of service.
Sundar Pichai outlined Google’s approach to handling such disputes, stating that the company collaborates with other companies to clarify and enforce their terms of service. He emphasized Google’s ongoing efforts in AI development and mentioned the introduction of a new model called Veo at the Google I/O developer conference. This model aims to create synthetic videos and represents a significant leap in AI capabilities.
OpenAI recently showcased the new voice mode for GPT-4o and its ChatGPT mobile application, demonstrating significant progress in AI interaction technology. In response, Google revealed similar upcoming features and announced a significant reduction in the cost of deploying AI models in web searches.
As the AI field continues to advance, both Google and OpenAI have made significant progress in developing and implementing cutting-edge technologies. While collaboration and competition drive innovation, compliance with legal and ethical standards remains a key issue that companies like Google are prepared to address.
