Google just bought a bunch of Spirit Airlines data for AI training
Google acquired a significant operational and technical dataset from the defunct Spirit Airlines for $10 million to refine its AI models.
What: Google purchased non-personal operational and business data, including software code, from Spirit Airlines. Third-party firms are responsible for scrubbing all personally identifiable information before Google integrates the data into its training pipelines.
Why it matters: AI developers are increasingly turning to non-traditional data sources like airline logistics and operational logs to train models on real-world, complex business workflows that are absent from standard web-scraped datasets.
