An investigation by Proof News claimed that Apple, Nvidia, and Anthropic, among others, have used material from thousands of YouTube videos to train AI despite YouTube’s rules against harvesting materials from the platform without permission. On Thursday, Apple refuted that claim and said Apple Intelligence is not trained on YouTube data without consent.
Amber Neeley for AppleInsider:
Apple has spoken out, saying that while it had used the Pile, the dataset was not used for Apple Intelligence. Instead, it was used to train its open-source OpenELM models, which it released in April.
Apple has since confirmed to AppleInsider that OpenELM models don’t power any of its AI or machine learning features. Instead, the tech giant claims that it created OpenELM to contribute to the research community. It also notes that OpenELM models were never intended to be used for Apple Intelligence…
Apple has repeatedly claimed that its sources for its artificial intelligence projects are ethical, and it’s known to have paid millions to publishers, and licensed images from photo library firms.
