Google has updated its privacy policy to include the use of publicly available information from the entire internet to train its AI models.

Previously, Google stated that it used this information only for language models for Google Translate, but now it includes other AI tools like Bard and Cloud AI capabilities.

This move has significant implications as it means that anything posted publicly using Google products can be saved and used by the company.

Google's AI ambitions have faced scrutiny, with concerns about data privacy and the use of large language models sourced from the internet.

Other platforms like Reddit and Twitter have restricted access to their APIs to prevent the harvesting of data for AI training, and Google's main rival, ChatGPT, has introduced data controls for users.

It remains to be seen how users will react to their public posts being used to train Google's AI models.
