Spirit Aviation Holdings Inc. has successfully negotiated a deal with labor unions regarding the sale of deidentified business data to Google LLC for AI training purposes. The revised proposal addresses objections from unions representing former flight attendants and airline pilots, ensuring broader acceptance of the transaction.
The agreement includes the use of Tonic AI Inc. to deidentify large volumes of data and excludes additional employee data from the sale. This move aims to alleviate concerns raised by the unions and streamline the approval process.
Google retains the option to back out of the deal if the volume of data available for purchase is significantly reduced due to search term exclusions. The revised proposal was filed Monday in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.
