Apple will use its street view Maps photos to train AI models


Starting this month, Apple will begin using image it collects for Look Around to train generative AI models.

In a disclosure spotted by 9to5Mac, the company said starting this month it would use images it captures to provide its Look Around feature for the additional purpose of training some of its generative AI models. People can find when Apple's survey crews and vehicles plan to visit their area by sorting by country and then clicking on a specific region. In 2017, for example, a pair of researchers from the company trained a machine learning model to generate professional-looking photographs from a dataset collected from Street View.
