Anthropic is updating its AI model Claude, and user conversations may now be used to further train the AI. This change impacts all Claude users, but individuals have the option to decline participation in this data collection process. By opting out, users ensure their interactions with Claude are not used to refine the model.
To maintain user privacy, Anthropic provides a straightforward opt-out procedure. Users can adjust their data settings within the Claude platform to prevent their conversations from being used for training purposes. This ensures users have control over their data and how it contributes to the ongoing development of Claude.
The decision to use user data reflects a broader trend in AI development, where real-world interactions are leveraged to improve model accuracy and responsiveness. However, companies like Anthropic are also providing mechanisms for users to protect their privacy and control how their data is used.
