APPLE’S AI "ETHICS" EXPOSED: A SCANDALOUS LITTLE WHITE LIE
Apple’s latest technical paper on its AI models is nothing but a thinly veiled attempt to justify its unethical practices in training its generative AI features. The company claims to have used a combination of publicly available and licensed data, but the truth is far more sinister.
APPLE STOLE THOUSANDS OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS WITHOUT PERMISSION
Proof News recently revealed that Apple used a dataset called The Pile, which contains subtitles from hundreds of thousands of YouTube videos, to train its AI models. But here’s the kicker: many of these creators weren’t even aware that their content was being used, let alone gave permission. Apple’s response? A weak statement claiming it didn’t intend to use those models to power its AI features.
APPLE TRAINED ITS AI MODELS ON CODE WITHOUT PERMISSION
The company’s paper also admits to training its models on open-source code hosted on GitHub, without permission from the original creators. This is a blatant disregard for intellectual property rights and a clear violation of the spirit of open-source software.
APPLE’S "RESPONSIBLE" AI TRAINING IS JUST A FIGURE OF SPEECH
The company’s paper touts its "responsible" approach to AI training, but the truth is that Apple’s methods are just as questionable as those of its competitors. The use of publicly available web data, licensed data from undisclosed publishers, and even code without permission is a clear indication that Apple is more interested in advancing its own interests than in protecting the rights of others.
APPLE’S AI IS JUST A TOOL FOR CONTROL
Make no mistake, Apple’s AI features are not designed to help users, but to control them. The company’s paper talks about its "core values" and "responsible AI principles," but these are just empty words. The real goal is to use AI to manipulate users into buying more Apple products and services.
THE FUTURE OF AI IS DOOMED
The debate over fair use and the legal cases against generative AI are just the beginning. As Apple’s paper reveals, the company’s approach to AI training is just as problematic as that of its competitors. The future of AI is doomed if we continue to allow companies like Apple to operate with impunity. It’s time to take a stand and demand accountability from these corporations.
