ChatGPT Maker Used YouTube Data To Train AI Models — Report

OpenAI utilised YouTube data to train some of its AI models for ChatGPT, its AI-powered chatbot.

The Information, a publication focused on the technology industry, reported this development, quoting an unnamed source.

Similarly, Google, the parent company of YouTube, is employing YouTube data to train and refine its own model, Gemini, the report said.

Despite the lawsuits filed against text-to-image generator firms for violating artists' copyright, large language models continue to be developed in secrecy with no information or transparency about their training data content.

In April, Microsoft, a major investor in OpenAI, faced a potential lawsuit from billionaire Elon Musk.

Musk claimed that the software company had “illegally trained” using Twitter data.
