X Modifies Its Terms to Prohibit the Use of Its Content for Training AI Models

The social media website X has revised its developer agreement to prevent third parties from using the platform's content to train large language models. In Wednesday's update, the company added a line to the "Reverse Engineering and Other Restrictions" sub - clause: "You shall not and shall not attempt (or allow others) [...] to use the X API or X content to fine - tune or train base or cutting - edge models." This change came after Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI acquired X in March—understandably, xAI doesn't want its competitors to have free access to the social platform's data without a sales agreement. In 2023, X modified its privacy policy to allow the use of publicly available data on its website to train artificial intelligence models. Last October, X further revised the policy to allow third parties to train their models.
