Google Buys Spirit’s AI Data | New Orleans News
Description
Google’s eyeing Spirit Airlines’ internal data — emails, Teams chats, spreadsheets, calendars — for $10 million to fuel its AI models, as the airline, in bankruptcy after shutting down operations in May, sells off assets amid soaring fuel costs and crushing debt. While privacy concerns arise, all personal info will be stripped out; Google’s only after operational insights. Competitor Mercor bid $7.5 million, and a judge will decide soon. This deal underscores how even corporate “inside” data is now gold for AI giants — while Spirit scrambles to recover from collapse.
