Yes, this will definitely happen

Step 1: move data from files into a database
Step 2: delete files
Step 3: press release that we just deleted the files
Google, probably

Can they even untrain an IA with a given set of Data?

Machine Unlearning is a very active field right now but basically ~~no~~ not really

You laugh but it would be really dumb for this not to happen. They would be held liable and most of the data they collect doesn't come from incognito

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sure they will be held liable. Just like everything else they are held liable for.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

They aren't liable for much

[–] Dupree878@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That’s @snooggums@kbin.social’s point

[–] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Why isn't there a sarcasm flare on lemmy (heck, on the Internet)

Back in my day, we didn’t need it! Sarcasm was much more understood on LUE, Gen[M]ay, SA, and DDRFreak!

(I haven’t been to these sites in a long time, so please don’t crucify me if they’re shitholes now. Other than DDRFreak. RIP DDRFreak)

That's the point... so your original statement does not carry much weight.
