Rumors have emerged regarding Waymo's potential use of interior camera data for AI training and targeted advertising. This speculation was sparked by a draft privacy policy unveiled by researcher Jane Manchun Wong. In response, Waymo clarified that their systems are not intended for personal identification nor targeted advertising. A Waymo spokesperson described the draft as containing placeholder language and confirmed that current features support an opt-out from data collection without altering existing privacy policies. Concerns regarding privacy are paramount as AI technology continues to evolve.
Waymo's machine learning systems are not designed to use this data to identify individual people, and there are no plans to use this data for targeted ads.
The version found by Wong featured placeholder text that doesn't accurately reflect the feature's purpose and noted that the feature was still in development.
