Brave Browser Allegedly Sells Copyrighted Data for AI Training
Brave, a privacy-focused web browser, is accused of selling copyrighted data from its Brave Search API to train artificial intelligence models without proper licensing. The allegations, reported by Stack Diary, claim that Brave enables third parties to ingest copyrighted content through its API. Brave's head of search defended the practice, stating that the rights issues relate to search engine results, not the content itself. The controversy raises questions about ethical data use and transparency in the tech industry.
