Join us for this free webinar with Lee Tiedrich, a widely recognized leader in artificial intelligence, data, and emerging technologies, in conversation with the ODI’s Director of Research Professor Elena Simperl.
Society faces an urgent and complex artificial intelligence (AI) data scraping challenge. Left unsolved, it could threaten responsible AI innovation. Data scraping refers to using web crawlers or other means to obtain data from third-party websites or social media properties. Today’s large language models (LLMs) depend on vast amounts of scraped data for training and potentially other purposes. Scraped data can include facts, creative content, computer code, personal information, brands, and just about anything else. This talk will discuss the current data scraping legal and policy landscape, including the mounting disputes. It will also discuss potential approaches for encouraging responsible and legally compliant behaviours, including codes of conduct, technical tools, model contract terms, and education.
This session is second first in our Data-Centric AI webinar series.
Who is this webinar for?
Anyone who is interested in data, AI, and how their data is obtained and used from third-party websites and social media.
