NVIDIA's Data Scraping Raises Industry Concerns

August 7, 2024

NVIDIA’s Cosmos project, an ambitious AI initiative, has raised concerns about data scraping practices. Despite reassurances from project managers that they have top-level approval to scrape data from websites, the practice has been met with sensitivity and criticism similar to those surrounding Stable Diffusion (SD). NVIDIA defends its actions as being in compliance with copyright law, but the move highlights the need for clear guidelines and regulations in the AI industry. The company’s efforts to develop cutting-edge AI models are commendable, but the ethical implications of data acquisition methods must be carefully considered.
