Springshot Objects to Google's Acquisition of Aviation Data
Software company Springshot Inc. has filed an objection to Google LLC's acquisition of Spirit Aviation Holdings' business data for $10 million, citing concerns that some of the data may not be suitable for artificial intelligence training.
The sale is valued at $10 million and was announced earlier this year, with Google set to use the data to improve its AI capabilities. Springshot claims that the sale would give Google access to sensitive business information that could potentially harm competing companies in the aviation industry.
Springshot's objection does not appear to be a full-fledged lawsuit, but rather a limited protest against the sale. The company has not provided further details on its concerns or what action it plans to take next.
