OpenAI still hasn’t released tools to deny data collection – Computerworld

OpenAI failed to release a tool for opting out or customizing data collection that the company had promised to provide by 2025. according to Techcrunch.

OpenAI is one of several generative AI (genAI), which have faced criticism for training their AI models on copyrighted material without the owners’ permission. Instead, the companies argue that artificial intelligence training should be classified as fair use (known as the concept of “fair use” in US law).

In May 2024, Open AI said the Media Manager tool would be able to identify copyrighted text, images, audio and video to reflect creators’ preferences across multiple sources. However, according to Techcrunch, this tool was never given further priority within the company.
