Like most AI companies, model-as-a-service companies have a continuous appetite for data to develop new or customer-specific models. This can conflict with obligations to protect user data and undermine privacy.
There's also a risk that a model-as-a-service company may, through its APIs, infer a range of business data from the companies using its models, such as their scale and precise growth trajectories.
The FTC has required businesses that unlawfully obtain consumer data to delete any products-including models and algorithms developed in whole or in part using that unlawfully obtained data.
