SpaceX has revised its Starlink privacy policy to allow the use of customer data for AI training, a change that could boost Elon Musk’s AI ambitions.
Ahead of a blockbuster initial public offering planned later this year, SpaceX is in talks to merge with Musk’s AI company xAI, a deal first reported by Reuters on January 29.
SpaceX, already the world’s most valuable private company, could be worth more than A$1.4 trillion after going public.
According to the Starlink website, Starlink updated its global privacy policy on January 15th.
The policy includes new details saying Starlink data may be used “to train our machine learning or artificial intelligence models” unless a user opts out, and may be shared with the company’s service providers and “third-party partners” without providing further details.
