How tech giants cut corners to harvest data for AI

OpenAI, Google, and Meta have all faced challenges with acquiring enough data to train their artificial intelligence (AI) models.

OpenAI transcribed over 1 million hours of YouTube videos using a speech recognition tool called Whisper, while Google also transcribed YouTube videos. Meta considered buying a publishing house to access copyrighted works. The race for data has become critical for AI development, with companies even exploring the use of synthetic data to train their models.

Google Deepmind trains a video game-playing AI to be your co-op companion

Google Deepmind researchers have developed an AI model called SIMA (scalable instructable multiworld agent) that can play multiple 3D games by learning from human gameplay videos and verbal instructions. The model associates visual representations of actions, objects, and interactions with certain instructions. Although AI agents trained on multiple games performed better on unfamiliar games, specific mechanics and terms unique to each game can still pose challenges. The researchers aim to create a more natural game-playing companion that can adapt and produce emergent behaviors. This approach differs from traditional simulator-based agent training, as SIMA uses imitation learning from human behavior instead of a reward signal.

YouTube says OpenAI training Sora with its videos would break rules

YouTube's CEO, Neal Mohan, mentioned that using YouTube videos to train OpenAI's text-to-video generator would be a violation of YouTube's terms of service. Mohan stated that creators have certain expectations when uploading content to the platform and the terms of service should be abided by, which includes not allowing the downloading of transcripts or video bits. OpenAI's use of content from various sources, including YouTube, to train AI models like Sora has been a subject of debate. Google and YouTube consider individual contracts with creators before using their videos as training data for their AI models.
