Anyone remember the 3d printed gun stuff from a few years back? I think this isn't very different from it. You can take these raw pieces and explain how they are simple and good and draw these simple ethical conclusions from them, but then you add it up and the bigger picture doesn't feel quite the same way. 3D printers are good, sharing 3D printing plans is good, it's good to help your neighbor, no regulations and we're experiencing tremendous growth in the 3D space, people are inventing new stuff, starting new businesses, etc.. all good stuff. but letting any jackass off the street print a working gun when we have how many mass shootings a year? People don't feel the same way. All the pieces are totally okay until you've got a more questionable global intention, and how can you regulate intention?
Google using the data to train models is just a tool, it's a baby step, they aren't doing that to sell the models or in and of itself, they're doing it so that they can generate data that they might consider theirs and not yours from your voice data and then feed that in to other systems which generate tremendous profits for them in ways you don't even know. They have intended uses already. Is it a remotely fair question to talk about ethical training in this context without some idea as to the intended use and distribution of the meta data?
