Bluesky Faces Data Scraping Challenges Amid AI Training Concerns
Bluesky has stated it will not use user posts for AI training, but a recent incident where a Hugging Face employee scraped and published data from 1 million Bluesky posts highlights the challenge of enforcing this policy. Although the data was removed and the employee apologized, the incident underscores the difficulty in preventing third parties from using such data for AI purposes. Bluesky is exploring ways to allow users to specify consent for AI training, but ultimately, it will depend on external developers to honor these settings.
