AI agent reveals differing data training policies for consumer vs. commercial AI tools

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

While Anthropic's commercial API terms state they do not train models on customer content, their consumer-facing Claude.ai terms allow for model training unless the user opts out. Even with an opt-out, data flagged for safety review or provided as feedback can still be used for training. Similarly, GitHub Copilot's terms of service differentiate between individual licenses and other uses regarding data collection for model development. AI
