Amnesty International coming out with a clear message regarding generative AI companies built on illegal practices.
"Amnesty International is calling on states to prohibit standalone generative AI systems that have been built using unlawful web scraping, defined as the bulk and mass collection of training data through the web. Companies must immediately cease the practice of unlawful non-consensual web scraping of personal data for AI training purposes, and states must hold companies to account for their involvement in any human rights abuses linked to their design and business choices."
