Greenbaum Olbrantz LLP is investigating leading technology companies for allegedly using personal data provided by users—including messages, photos, and other content—to train artificial intelligence (AI) models without proper notice or consent. Our firm is examining whether these practices violate privacy rights, consumer protection laws, or existing terms of service agreements.
About the Investigation
Many technology platforms collect vast amounts of user data during the normal course of providing services—ranging from social media activity and emails to voice recordings and personal documents. Recent disclosures suggest that some companies are using this data to train AI models, including chatbots and recommendation systems, without informing users or offering them the opportunity to opt out.
This practice raises serious questions about transparency, data ownership, and consent. Our investigation focuses on whether these companies failed to adequately disclose their data usage practices, and whether customers’ privacy rights have been compromised.
Who May Be Affected?
You may be affected if you:
- You used a technology platform or app that collects personal data;
- The platform has recently launched or updated an AI-powered feature;
