How to Stop X From Using Your Posts to Train Its AI
- X, previously known as Twitter, has revised its developer terms to prevent external parties from utilizing the platform’s user-generated data for training artificial intelligence systems, according to a recent TechCrunch report.
- This update reverses a previous policy from October that permitted X to provide user information to external partners for the purpose of developing AI systems, unless users had chosen to opt out.
- The updated terms prohibit developers from using the X API or content to train foundation or frontier models, while X can still use data for its own AI.

- This move could help X create new revenue streams by licensing content while protecting its competitive edge for its AI models like the Grok chatbot.
