Worker takes mandatory GenAI course, questions training data ethics
Original: Doing a course on GenAI (because the powers that be are making me do so). Somewhat amused how they completely avoid ackn
A professional is taking a mandatory generative AI course required by their employer, and finds its framing striking. The course pushes learners to evaluate AI outputs but avoids acknowledging that the underlying models are trained on datasets taken from creators without consent or compensation. The observation is resonating with others who share skepticism about how workplaces teach AI without addressing the ethical disputes around training data.
Why now: Ongoing debate over generative AI training data and employers mandating AI training for staff
Evidence
- Doing a course on GenAI (because the powers that be are making me do so). Somewhat amused how they completely avoid acknowledging that it "creates" new material from datasets that are pretty much stolen data from their owners, then say just enough about "you got to evaluate it"… · bloodravenlib@boriken.social · 2
