Google suspended a developer's account after AI training data uploaded to Google Drive was found to contain child sexual abuse material.
The dataset was widely used in academic papers and shared via an academic file-sharing site, unbeknownst to the developer.
The developer reported the dataset to a child safety organization, leading to its removal, but Google's ban remains in place.
Google stated the account violated policies by hosting illegal content involving child exploitation.
The developer describes the ban as 'devastating.'
