Recently, Microsoft and its investor OpenAI were sued for collecting data for artificial intelligence tools. The plaintiffs claimed that the companies stored all content on the internet in their databases without paying any fees to copyright holders, and then used this data for commercial purposes.

Furthermore, it is alleged that Microsoft, in particular, has violated individuals’ privacy by exposing their personal information. As part of the lawsuit, it is demanded that all unauthorized content used be removed from the internet and that individuals whose data was used be given the opportunity to delete this data. Here are all the details…

Microsoft faces an artificial intelligence lawsuit!

While it is stated that Microsoft and OpenAI trained their artificial intelligence algorithms through unauthorized internet content, it is said that they continue to mine personal data at full speed. The lawsuit argues that this situation poses a great risk to the millions of people whose personal information has been stolen in the long run.

On the other hand, Microsoft stated in its statement regarding the matter that the allegations made were not supported by any evidence and that the technologies they offered did not pose a threat to humanity. Some even suggest that the company may counter-sue.

OpenAI officials also state that there is no evidence of data theft and that they already obtained permission from users to access some of their data when they signed up. Additionally, the company states that it is impossible to protect all data on the internet and emphasizes that they show great sensitivity regarding user security. We will all see in the coming period how these developments will affect the new artificial intelligence projects to be carried out by Microsoft.
