X Bars AI Training with Its Content Amid xAI Acquisition
Summary
X, recently acquired by Elon Musk's AI company xAI, has updated its developer agreement to prohibit using X's content and API to train large language models, restricting competitors' access to its data for AI training purposes.
Key Points
- X changed its developer agreement to prevent third parties from using the platform's content to train large language models.
- This change comes after Elon Musk's AI company xAI acquired X in March, as xAI wouldn't want to give its competitors free access to the social platform's data.
- Other platforms like Reddit and The Browser Company have also implemented similar safeguards against AI crawlers using their data for training models.
