   micro1 to spend $1bn licensing enterprise data for AI agent training

   AI training-data company micro1 said it will spend $1bn over the next 12 months buying and licensing operational data from companies, with Citi and Hercules Capital providing the capital. Under its Company Data Partnerships programme, micro1 turns de-identified company data into reinforcement learning environments that mirror real business operations, where models and agents practise workflows, decisions and complex tasks. The company lists tiered payments — more than $100,000 for a qualified partnership, over $500,000 for large or ongoing multi-team datasets and over $1m for highly unique proprietary data — with companies keeping ownership, personal information removed "when relevant" and samples reviewable before use.

   Spirit privacy ombudsman backs $10M sale of deidentified passenger data to Google

   Consumer privacy ombudsman Lucy Thomson recommended in a 5 October report that Spirit Airlines be allowed to sell deidentified passenger data to Google, which won the auction with a $10m bid, according to Business Insider. The new report says booking and transaction records, refunds, inflight purchases and WiFi sales are excluded from the deal and will not reach Google "in any form"; Spirit has hired Tonic.ai to deidentify the remaining unstructured data, including corporate email that may hold personal details. A court hearing on the sale is set for 14 October, and the court has the final say. Google has said it is not buying personal information and that the data would help improve its products and AI models.
