- Reuters reports more than 120 US lawmakers raised concerns over Alphabet/Google acquiring defunct carrier Spirit Airlines' internal data for $10 million to train AI, including 100 million employee emails and 500 million Microsoft Teams messages.
- AI data company micro1 weighed in, agreeing with Congress: purchased data must be secured, and buyers are accountable for removing sensitive information — third-party tools only shift responsibility, not eliminate privacy risk.
- micro1 claims its in-house PII transformation model outperforms every frontier model on public third-party benchmarks.
