Foreign media revealed that ByteDance’s large model project “Seed Plan” used GPT model data in early development, violating OpenAI’s terms of service. OpenAI subsequently stated that it had suspended Byte-related accounts. ByteDance denied any violations and said it was actively communicating with OpenAI to clarify misunderstandings. The incident reflects that the rules and supervision of the use of training data in the field of large models are still controversial.
This incident not only had an impact on ByteDance itself, but also sounded the alarm for other large model R&D companies, reminding them that they need to attach great importance to data compliance issues. While developing technology, they should also pay more attention to the compliance with ethical norms and laws and regulations in order to promote Healthy and sustainable development of the artificial intelligence industry. In the future, the improvement of data usage rules and supervision mechanisms in the field of large models will be crucial.
