Waymo to Use Interior Camera Data for Generative AI Training and Ad Personalization
Waymo to Use Interior Camera Data for Generative AI Training and Ad Personalization
Waymo plans to leverage interior camera footage from its robotaxis to train generative AI models, as revealed in a draft of its privacy policy. This initiative raises concerns about the extent to which rider behavior may be utilized for AI training and targeted advertising. Riders will have the option to opt out of sharing their data, including video linked to their identities. Despite increasing paid rides, Waymo continues to explore alternative revenue streams as it copes with significant operational losses. The company aims to expand its services into new markets while investing heavily in research and development.
