Amazon destroys rare books to train AI models with pre-2022 data

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

An investigative report has revealed that Amazon is destroying rare books by purchasing physical copies, removing their spines, and scanning the pages. This process is reportedly used to train Amazon's AI models, specifically Nova, with clean data predating 2022. The practice involves mass acquisition of these books for their content. AI

RANK_REASON The article discusses a practice by Amazon that is not a core AI release, significant industry move, research, or tool, but rather a controversial method of data acquisition for AI training, fitting best into the 'meme' category due to its unusual and potentially harmful nature.
