Palantir, Nvidia curb AI model use over data fears, The Information reports
PLTR•Lab policies on customer data
Both AI labs say they do not train on customer data by default unless companies opt in, though they collect anonymized metadata to improve products, the report added.
Anthropic and OpenAI face customer scrutiny
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on Saturday called for AI companies to slow the pace of frontier model development, warning that capabilities are advancing faster than researchers can understand or control — a position quickly endorsed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk.
Anthropic faced customer pushback after a June policy change for its Fable model gave the company rights to retain usage logs for 30 days to guard against "complex and novel attacks," according to the report.
OpenAI has faced similar scrutiny amid claims it may have trained models on user data to help solve a math problem, the report said.
Company responses and internal restrictions
Palantir, Nvidia, Booz Allen, Anthropic and OpenAI did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.
Palantir has pressed Anthropic to provide irrevocable zero-data-retention guarantees before making its models available through Palantir's software, the report said, citing a person familiar with the discussions.
Nvidia limits Anthropic's use to less sensitive tasks and relies on its own Nemotron models for internal work, while Booz Allen has barred employees from using Anthropic's commercial model for proprietary cybersecurity work, the report said.
Big tech companies weigh limits on AI model use
Sept. 14 (Reuters) - Large technology companies, including Palantir Technologies, Nvidia and Booz Allen Hamilton, could restrict or cease to use advanced AI models unless Anthropic and OpenAI guarantee not misusing their intellectual property, reported on Monday.
