A spokeswoman Julia Elena said in an email that Waymo has “no plans” to use footage of the cameras inside robots. freedom.
Elena was responding to Unpublished page of Waymo Privacy Policy This seems to provide customers with the ability to cancel the subscription from their “personal information”, including “internal camera data associated with the identity of Rider”, to train the Monchi IQ models for a variety of purposes, including ads. Security researcher, Jane Manchun Wong, discovered the excerpt from the privacy policy Waymo plans for the transformation feature.
Elena warned that the Wong screen shot was from an unpublished application page “containing a text on the national element that does not accurately reflect the purpose of the feature.”
“The feature, which is still under development, will not make any changes to Privacy Policy in WaymoBut instead, the bikes will provide an opportunity to cancel data collection for ML training purposes. “
Waymo, who is currently working in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phenix and Austin, is characterized by cameras inside the cabin that you see clients while they leave the road in the vehicles. Basically, Waymo monitors its customers to make sure they are safe, while monitoring the safety and maintenance of the car itself. The company uses live feed to track missing property, monitor the cleanliness of the car, and ensure that customers are following the rules of robotics riding.
“It is still under development”
“Waymo [machine learning] There are no systems for using this data to identify individuals, and there are no plans to use these data for targeted ads. “
But the growing technology companies are hungry for any and all data to train evil artificial intelligence models because they are trying to build more chat and photo generators. Waymo is owned by Alphabet, which also supervises Google and its Gemini products. Waymo is used by Amnesty International for its research and development, As mentioned in this blog post last year.
It is understood that questions about privacy and the use of data will eventually appear for Waymo. Most customers will reject any attempt to use their likeness without permission to train artificial intelligence models aimed at selling things. This, fortunately, Waymo says he has no plans to do it. If any of this changes, it is good that they offer people the option to cancel the subscription. Let’s hope that it will remain this way.
