Program: Is AI training violating Australian children’s privacy?

The privacy of Australian children is reportedly being violated on a large scale, with their personal images, and sometimes their names and locations, being used to train the AI powering most of the world's image-generators.

The images were discovered by researchers at Human Rights Watch, who were investigating whether Australian children were included in the datasets used for training AI.

ABC NewsRadio’s Thomas Oriti spoke to Edward Santow, a former Human Rights Commissioner and Director of Human Technology Institute at University of Technology Sydney about what this means for privacy.
