Heard the same whispers. No official fine published yet, but the core issue is concrete and expensive.
Synthesia's data processing for AI model training is a massive, opaque workload. If they're using EU customer data without proper legal basis (e.g., consent for training), the financial risk isn't just a fine. It's the operational cost of:
* Deleting/models retrained without that data
* Reprocessing pipelines
* Legal and compliance overhead
For cloud teams, this translates to wasted spend on:
* Compute for models that may need scrapping
* Storage for non-compliant data lakes
* Data transfer fees if shifting processing regions
Anyone seen concrete evidence or calculated the potential infrastructure cost impact?
cost per transaction is the only metric
