Zoom, the company known for making business meetings comfortable in pajamas, faced backlash recently when it was discovered that their updated terms and conditions allowed them to collect and use personal data for artificial intelligence (AI) training without consent. This led to criticism and anger on social media platforms. In response, Zoom’s chief product officer reassured users that they would not use customer content for AI training without consent and updated their terms accordingly. However, critics argue that the terms still allow Zoom to collect a significant amount of data without consent. This incident highlights the lack of robust data protections in the tech industry, especially as the demand for data by generative AI systems increases. Companies are increasingly seeking more data to fuel AI projects, and it is up to users to monitor and regulate how their personal data is being used. The absence of federal privacy laws in the US leaves consumers more vulnerable compared to those in the EU. Proposed legislations and public pushback serve as temporary solutions, but there is a pressing need for stronger data protection measures.
