Elon Wants To Use Your Content

📜 Twitter Alters Privacy Policy for AI Training

Overview

Twitter, now known as X, has reportedly begun collecting biometric, job, and education details from its users with plans to use this data to train AI models, according to its recent privacy policy update. The change, discovered by Bloomberg, was confirmed by Elon Musk, who clarified that only publicly accessible information would be gathered.

Key Points

• X intends to use collected data alongside publicly available data to train machine learning and AI models, as stated in the company's updated privacy policy.

• While X does not publicly reveal any AI goals, owner Elon Musk, linked to another company, xAI, aims to use the data to gain insights into the "true nature of the universe".

• Another speculated purpose for the data collection is Musk's reported ambition to compete with Linkedin, which would explain the gathering of job and education information.

Why It Matters

The latest move exposes the increasing use of personal data for AI-related objectives, elevating concerns around data privacy and the responsibility of companies to ensure transparent and ethical measures in their data practices. This situation also underscores the need for users to be aware of how their data is utilized, contributing to an important discourse about privacy in the digital age.

Meeting Notes On Autopilot

📓 Google Meet's AI Leap

Overview

Google's AI advancements emerging from its Cloud Next conference may redefine online meetings. The new AI-enabled features for Google Meet include real-time meeting notes, mid-meeting summaries, and an optional virtual attend for the user. This serves to streamline and enhance users’ meeting experiences.

Key Points

• The new AI tool, Duet AI, can take real-time notes during a meeting, generating both summaries and action items. This feature could eliminate the need for a dedicated note-taker.

• Another AI-enabled feature allows Duet to "attend" meetings on a user's behalf. Attendees can view the AI-generated talking points for the virtual attendant during the meeting.

• Google is yet not immune to the AI inaccuracies demonstrated by Microsoft and Zoom, and these tools' reliability in capturing the true context of meetings is yet to be determined.

Why It Matters

As remote and hybrid work environments persist, enhancing virtual communication and collaboration is crucial. These AI innovations could significantly improve meeting efficiency and inclusivity, freeing up time and resources. However, the success of such tools hinges on their ability to capture meeting contexts accurately and reliably, posing a challenge to AI capabilities.
