Google agrees to pay $10 million for Spirit Airlines' anonymized data
↗
Google is purchasing a $10 million cache of anonymized Spirit Airlines data, including communications, bookings, and employee records, to train its AI models.
The acquisition gives Google a large, diverse dataset that can enhance its AI training, potentially improving model performance on real-world business data. Because the data is anonymized but still contains detailed operational and personnel information, it raises questions about the privacy of former customers and employees even after a bankruptcy sale.
