WeTransfer says files not used to train AI after backlash

WeTransfer said the clause was initially added to "include the possibility of using AI to improve content moderation" and to identify harmful content. The terms had said WeTransfer could use content for purposes "including to improve performance of machine learning models that enhance our content moderation process". It also included the right for WeTransfer to "reproduce, distribute, modify," or "publicly display" files uploaded to the service. Some users on social media interpreted this as WeTransfer giving itself the right to share or sell the files uploaded by users to AI companies. People working in the creative industries, including an illustrator and an actor, posted on X to say they used the service to send work and were considering changing to alternative providers.
