Learning platform Udemy angers instructors with hasty AI roll-out

E-learning platform Udemy has given course instructors only a three-week window to opt out of their AI training program, which has now expired. As Jason Koebler of 404 Media reports, the over 250,000 courses were automatically approved for AI training unless instructors actively objected. Many instructors criticize the approach as non-transparent and unfair. Udemy justifies the time limit by citing the high effort required to remove data from AI models retrospectively. The platform promises instructors benefits from AI functions, but also warns of possible disadvantages for non-participation. Some instructors have announced they will leave Udemy due to the new AI policy.
