      “Nvidia is being accused of scraping millions of videos online to train its own AI products. These reports allegedly came from an anonymous former Nvidia employee who shared the data with [404 Media](https://www.404media.co/nvidia-ai-scraping-foundational-model-cosmos-project/).

      According to the outlet, several employees were instructed to download videos to train Nvidia’s AI. Many have raised concerns about the legality and ethics of the move, but project managers have consistently assured them. Ming-Yu Liu, vice president of Research at Nvidia, allegedly responded to one question with, “This is an executive decision. We have an umbrella approval for all of the data.”

      It isn’t the first time an AI tech company has been accused of scraping online content without permission. Several lawsuits exist against AI companies like OpenAI, Stability AI, Midjourney, DeviantArt, and Runway.”
