To justify this, they are rewriting terms of service and privacy policies to include phrases like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and generative AI. The practice has been analyzed by The New York Times, which found that companies are adopting more permissive data practices without consumer knowledge or consent. This trend is raising concerns about transparency and consumer protection in the use of AI technology.
