The technology company xAI, founded by Elon Musk for artificial intelligence research, made a lot of noise. Recently (Twitter) X updated its latest privacy policy. Users were concerned about the use of their personal data for artificial intelligence research, thanks to X’s updated privacy policy. The news that sprinkled water in the hearts of users came from Elon Musk.
X’s updated privacy policy will only allow public data for AI!
Some details drew attention in X’s updated privacy policy. Based on your consent, we may collect and use your biometric information for security, safety and identification purposes. This sentence brought to mind the possibility of the platform being a resource for artificial intelligence research. In addition, the text on xAI’s home page stating that it will “work closely with X (Twitter), Tesla and other companies to make progress towards our mission” strengthened this possibility.
The new policy, which will be implemented as of September 29, has created questions in the minds of users about the security of personal data. Controversy arose over whether the data that the platform will use to train artificial intelligence models includes personal data. Elon Musk has clarified this issue.

Musk stated that X’s updated privacy policy only covers public data, not direct messages. He also emphasized that before the biometric and employment histories are collected, permission will be obtained from the users.
In addition, X aims to make an account more official by processing the identity information of users with its new policy. This will also help X fight fake accounts. Thus, the platform is planned to become more secure.
X, which has undergone many changes from its name to its logo, experienced a decrease of four percent in the number of weekly users. How will the last updated privacy policy affect this situation? Don’t forget to give your comments and opinions.
