Google Is Paying $10 Million to Use Spirit Airlines Data to Train Its AI Models

Google has agreed to pay $10 million to acquire a massive trove of anonymized data from Spirit Airlines following the carrier's shutdown. This dataset includes internal communications, business records, spreadsheets, booking and frequent-flyer records, transactions, and employee information. The bankrupt airline, which halted operations in May, is selling remaining assets through the bankruptcy process. Google intends to use this extensive information to train and improve its artificial intelligence models using the airline's internal records.
