Anthropic to Train AI Models on User Data, Opt-Out Required
2025-08-29
Anthropic will begin training its AI models, including Claude, on user chat transcripts and coding sessions unless users opt out by September 28th. This affects all consumer tiers, extending data retention to five years. A prominent 'Accept' button in the update notification risks users agreeing without fully understanding the implications. While Anthropic claims data protection measures, users who inadvertently accept can change their preference in settings, though previously used data remains inaccessible.
