Runway, a billion-dollar AI startup backed by Google, is facing backlash over allegations that it scraped thousands of YouTube videos without permission to train its latest AI video generation model. The accusations stem from a leaked internal spreadsheet obtained by 404 Media.
The document, reportedly shared by a former Runway employee, details plans to categorise and tag content from over 3,900 YouTube channels.
