On: Ask HN: Should GenAI companies be audited for their use of customer data?

I would say any company with user data should need to be audited to ensure it is kept private and not misused. I wouldn’t limit it to GenAI companies.

I guess we need divide and conquer the data mis-use problem. At this point, we are not sure what will be a good starting point.

Let's start with social media, which has everyone's names, photos, locations, locations from geotagged photos, contacts, maps relationship strength between contacts, sleep and work patterns, etc.

I agree - AI model training is just one way of misusing customer data.
