WeTransfer claims that files were not used to train artificial intelligence following the negative backlash
Recently WeTransfer updated its terms of service and that generated a wave of concern among users. Some social media users had threatened to delete their accounts after WeTransfer's terms were updated, understanding that their files could be used to train artificial intelligence models. The rapid spread on networks and forums caused an immediate reaction and public pressure on the company.
In the face of the controversy, WeTransfer issued public clarifications stating that user files were not used to train artificial intelligence and that the interpretation of the changes in the terms had been erroneous or unclear. The company stated that it would review the legal language to improve transparency and protect customer privacy, seeking to restore trust after the uproar.
