Google recently placed a winning ten million dollar bid at a bankruptcy auction to acquire internal corporate records from Spirit Airlines. The tech giant secured millions of internal emails and chat logs to help improve its artificial intelligence systems. Industry watchers find it fascinating how a failed budget carrier suddenly turned into a goldmine for advanced machine learning development.
Tech companies have largely exhausted public internet text and now chase proprietary corporate data to train smarter models.
