Cloudflare, one of the world's largest content delivery networks and web security service providers, is taking on AI bots with a new "Easy button" that simplifies the shutdown of unauthorized content scraping.
The Reddit suit claims that Anthropic began regularly scraping the site in December 2021. After being asked to stop, Anthropic issued a public statement in July 2024 indicating that it had stopped all crawling of Reddit for AI training data.
The Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) has announced that it will be investigating X's use of the platform's posts, replies and user information as AI training data for its embedded "Grok" feature.
Nearly 12,000 live API keys were found in an AI training dataset used by various models such as OpenAI and DeepSeek, exposing services like AWS, MailChimp, and Slack to exploitation.
Headed up by Meta, a collection of the biggest names in tech and AI research has sent a letter to the European Union warning that EU decisions on regulating AI training threaten to hold the region back.
Grokbot reportedly collected posts from European users for its AI training from May 7 to August 1 this year. This was done without any notification of users or collection of consent, creating a potential violation of EU data protection law.
