Submission statement: how should we think about the ethics of having AIs trained on pictures of children?
Should AI corporations be allowed to train on images on children?
What should happen if parents technically signed off saying it was OK when they clicked “I consent” to a random website without reading any of the fine print?
AI is getting images from the public internet. Once you post something on the public internet, it’s out there forever. No take-backs. This isn’t AI’s fault.
If parents don’t want AI looking at their kids pictures; don’t post them in a public forum.
AI will be able to learn how children’s faces change as they grow up to be adults and Facebook will be helping by giving access to all of everyone’s pictures throughout their timelines. So one’ll be able to predict what one will look like in the future.
Yikes. So very glad to not have kids. Fck, even without kids this is very disconcerting. Where are the lawmakers?
I just can’t think it’s good to let AI use the likeness of real children to create fake children for peoples’ videos. Can’t we do better. AI needing to train on the images of children is SOOO much less important than the wellbeing of actual children. Can’t we just stop and discuss.
I love AI for critical and challenging scientific improvements. I wish we could just focus on the big things. I hate this other entertainment side of it.
This seems like standard ‘thing that was already happening much worse without ai is now suddenly scary because ai’ type panic.
As far as I can tell, photos which were posted on social media going back as far as 1990 have been included in a common ai training dataset.
So those kids had their photos on public display for anyone with internet access to see for over 30 years, sometimes including personal details, and that was apperently fine.
But now that an ai has seen them, even though the ai is completely incapable of actually generating a picture of them, or retaining any of the personal details, it’s suddenly a problem?
This is hogwash.
Anyone wasting time on this is endangering kids by promoting this as a danger instead of working towards helping real live kids who are in actual danger.
They could have been looking for the victims of abuse that is happening right now, but no, that couldn’t be construed into a clickbait headline to promote themselves as effectively as a fashionable moral panic, so they ignored those cases and focussed on this? Disgraceful.
Parents shouldn’t be posting their children all over social media in the first place
Who gives af and why? It’s like caring about you (the reader) seeing pictures of kids and it just so happens you have great memory.
