Lawmakers warn Google could expose Spirit Airlines data in $10 million AI training deal

Lawmakers have raised concerns that Google's proposed $10 million deal to acquire Spirit Airlines data for artificial intelligence (AI) training could expose sensitive company information. The dataset would include approximately 100 million emails, 500 million Microsoft Teams messages, employment contracts, employee records, and payroll and tax documentation.

Why it matters: Spirit Airlines employees and contractors face potential privacy exposure if personal data is used for AI training without adequate safeguards; practitioners should monitor data handling agreements with large technology vendors to prevent similar unauthorized uses.
