FTC Investigation ChatGPT Surrounding Their Data Sources.

The?Washington Post?reported the Federal Trade Commission is planning to investigate the data sources used by OpenAI within Large Language Models that lead to ChatCPT.

The FTC is looking OpenAI for possible violations consumer protection laws.

Al needs data to make their solution work. Where does the data come from? Are ChatGPT LLM sources all sources from public records? The FTC will look into that.

Comedian?Sarah Silverman?and other authors have bought a lawsuit against META and OpenAI for copyright infringement. She claims her material became a dataset within a Large Language Model. LLMs process data as part of the AI learning process. This process uses natural language processing to classify tests for use in machine learning.

A question that continues to be raised by legal and technology experts is who has the right to use individual or copyrighted data to create commercially available LLMs. OpenAI and META both claim the raw data fed into their LLMs were from publicly accessible data sources. However, the comedian notes that her content was part of a data set that fed into these LLMs.

The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages. Many artists, writers, and music composers recognize AI’s challenge to the future of creative, digital rights, and content copywriting. More lawsuits are expected to follow.

What Will Come From This?

Ultimately, as I wrote in my last blog, AI is racing to the top while the creative, economic, and employment casualties will continue to become collateral damage. What the AI industry wants is the lack of “Federal Regulation and a link to a U.S Federal Privacy Law.”

Having federal privacy would be a game-changing AI world. With laws similar to the EU, AI providers must provide specific details on what data resides within LLMs and output datasets. Why would the kingdom of AI want this to be filed away? Because the moment the black boxes need to be opened up, OpenAI and AI content brokers could have a lot of explaining to do.

Google, 15 years ago, had access to a ton of emails under the gmail.com domain. Facebook won’t go there. The good news, we have the FTC to look out for us. ??

Having a Federal enforced personal privacy law and consumer AI bill of rights would restore the trust in technology and the people that financially and politically benefit.

All the best,

John “Patrick”
