Building on my previous question, it is also allowed to use video game gameplay data to improve an AI? (I decided to split this into a separate question, but I don’t know if this question is identical to the previous one.)

    We’ve been doing this in RL research with Minecraft as well (see MineDojo). An excerpt from the GitHub page:

    MineDojo […] provides open access to an internet-scale knowledge base of 730K YouTube videos, 7K Wiki pages, 340K Reddit posts.

    Again, no one has run into legal issues with this yet either, but this also isn’t as ubiquitous compared to Atari, nor has it been around for as long.

    “Allowed”?
    If you mean legally consult a lawyer.
    If you mean socially, left minded people will hate it and right minded people will like it, as with all ai training on others work.

    Absolutely! Video game data is often used to improve AI development. Games provide a controlled environment that’s great for training AI on things like decision making and pattern recognition. Just make sure you’re working with data you have permission to use.
