Platforms of various types were also part of the generative artificial intelligence craze. Team application that is frequently used, especially in workplaces limp was one of them. We have seen a lot of artificial intelligence features added to the platform lately.

However, in recent days, worrying news has emerged about Slack’s artificial intelligence features. In this case, which was first noticed by Slack user Corey Quinn user messages, files and other content for AI models It turned out he was using it.

Slack says it uses data in features like emoji suggestions, not in generative AI tools

Quinn noted this in Slack’s privacy policy. It was mentioned here that the platform’s systems analyze customer data (message, content and file) to train artificial intelligence and machine learning models, and this is also included in the customer contract.

Naturally, the emergence of this situation caused a tremendous reaction and once again exposed a dark side of the training of artificial intelligence tools. The company also responded to the reactions and growing concerns about the application.

Slack tried to explain in a blog post how it uses customer data. According to this statement, data can be used in generative artificial intelligence tools such as Slack’s language model. not used. Instead, it is used in machine learning features such as channel and emoji recommendations and search results. They also indicated that there is no access to messages in DMs and private channels.

Additionally, the company added in a response to Quinn that users can opt out of the use of this data. Although Slack makes such a statement, the section in their privacy policy somewhat contradicts it. There was no other statement from the company. We wait to see whether further developments will take place in this area.
