JetBrains to train AI on user code with opt-in consent

JetBrains is updating its IDEs to collect code-related data for training AI models, with a planned rollout in version 2025.3.1. The company is seeking explicit consent from commercial users and has made opt-out mechanisms more user-friendly for non-commercial license holders, for whom data sharing is enabled by default. Organizations can enable data sharing at an administrative level, with early adopters offered free subscriptions. AI

IMPACT This change could lead to more specialized AI models trained on real-world developer code, potentially improving AI coding assistants.

RANK_REASON This is a product update from a software development tool company regarding data collection for AI training, not a core AI model release or research.
