Successful AI startups can steal data, clean mess later: Schmidt

Google's ex-CEO Eric Schmidt said AI startups could potentially replicate existing platforms like TikTok by stealing their data. Successful startups could hire lawyers to "clean up the mess" later, he said, adding, "But if nobody uses your product, it doesn't matter that you stole all the content." "Silicon Valley will run these tests and clean up the mess," he said.
