US EditionMusk's Starlink to Allow Consumer Data to Train AI
Starlink's updated policy permits use of customer data to train AI models and share with partners, affecting over nine million users, amid SpaceX's AI and IPO plans.
- On Jan. 15, Starlink updated its Global Privacy Policy to allow SpaceX to use customer data for AI training and share it with third-party collaborators unless users opt out.
- Ahead of a planned IPO later this year, SpaceX is in talks that could tie Starlink data to Musk's xAI, potentially supporting AI efforts, as Reuters reported Thursday.
- The network spans more than 9000 satellites, and the archived November privacy policy did not mention AI training, indicating the language was recently added.
- SpaceX did not respond to requests, and privacy advocates warned using personal data for AI training risks expanding surveillance and misuse avenues, according to a Georgetown law professor.
- Access to communication and location data could materially accelerate SpaceX's AI projects, as the policy change affects more than 9000 satellites and over nine million users.
