The credit reporting agencies lost the data of normal people, they didn’t lose their customers proprietary internal data. The credit agencies didn’t loose or misplace their customers data, so obviously their customers don’t really care that much, and the credit agencies weren’t sued into oblivion.

But I can guarantee you that if a companies internal data got leaked or misused, then every single enterprise customer of that lab would turn around and start suing them. As an enterprise customer you would be foolish not to, if only if figure out via discovery just how badly you got screwed.

You want to see how nasty that can get. Just go and look at what Apple is doing to OpenAI at the moment. Do you really think Apple wouldn’t find a way to sue a lab into oblivion if they discovered a lab had secretly started training on their data?

that was accidental? this would be straight up fraud.

You can structure it so that it becomes accidental.

  1. Ensure security barriers are weak or honor based.
  2. Put individual researchers under a lot of pressure.
  3. If you get caught, blame the weak barriers, or the individual researcher.
Basically setup the incentive structure to incentivize researchers sticking their mittens in the private cookie jar while putting the cookie jar in a dark unmonitored/unsecured room with a sign on the door saying please don't enter.
