Google's Gemini AI Raises Privacy Concerns as Generative AI Transforms Internet

Rapid development and adoption of generative AI by tech giants sparks ethical debates, early regulation, and anticipation for further advancements.

Google's Gemini AI, a rival to OpenAI's ChatGPT, is being developed to profile users more accurately than any previous algorithm, potentially enabling it to answer currently unanswerable questions by accessing personal information. This raises concerns about privacy and the use of data for targeted advertising.
Generative AI has significantly impacted the internet in 2023, with the rise of 'hallucination' where AI fabricates responses, the mainstreaming of deepfakes, concerns about the use of training data, the introduction of AI-generated content, and the promise of changing our relationship with work.
Generative AI has seen rapid development and adoption by tech giants such as Microsoft, Google, Salesforce, Adobe, AWS, and IBM, leading to a wave of moral and ethical debates and early regulation. The technology has the potential to save time and money for businesses, while also creating new opportunities for growth and investment.
Generative AI has also raised concerns about copyright infringement and privacy, with OpenAI and Google facing class-action lawsuits for allegedly 'stealing' personal information without consent and infringing on copyrighted works. The issue of using publicly available data on the internet to train AI models remains unresolved.
Despite the rapid pace of change and the potential risks, generative AI is expected to become even more accessible to the general public in the coming year, with further advancements anticipated.
