Elon Musk, the Twitter Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has threatened to sue Microsoft for using data from his social media company to train it’s artificial intelligence model.
Musk disclosed this on a tweet, in response to a tweet that Microsoft’s advertising platform would stop supporting Twitter, so that advertisement buyers would not be able to access their Twitter accounts through Microsoft’s social management tool, BBC report.
“They trained illegally using Twitter data,” Musk tweeted. “Lawsuit time.”
The company had earlier announced that it advertising platform would no longer support Twitter from April 25, while other social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn will continue to be available.
In a separate tweet, on the discussion about the social media platform’s data, Mr Musk said he was “open to ideas”.
“But ripping off the Twitter database, demonetizing it (removing ads) and then selling our data to others isn’t a winning solution,” he added.
