competing bid<\/a> that it claims resolves all objections to the data sale. Outbidding Google by 25 percent, Micro1 offered $12.5 million in cash, while promising that if debtors pick Micro1 over Google, the bankruptcy proceedings can avoid any further delays.<\/p>\nHowever, Micro1\u2019s plan notably includes de-identifying the data in-house, which Spirit debtors were opposed to in the auction process. Spirit even chose a lower second bid should the Google sale fall through because the de-identification was completed by independent third parties. It seems, then, that even if the late bid is considered, it\u2019s less likely to tempt debtors. Additionally, Micro1\u2019s claims to resolve all objections may be somewhat exaggerated. In Springshot\u2019s case, Micro1 does not promise to segregate IP, trade secrets, or proprietary data. Instead, Micro1 only says that it will not use Springshot data to create a rival product or ever sell the data to a would-be rival.<\/p>\n
Ars could not reach Micro1\u2019s lawyers for comment, but the data lab said it plans to attend the upcoming hearing to entice debtors to take their offer.<\/p>\n
Kreuzkamp told Ars that he appreciates that Micro1 acknowledges Springshot\u2019s concerns, but his objective remains scrubbing Spirit\u2019s dataset of any data that Springshot owns.<\/p>\n
His company\u2019s lawyers have been in contact with Spirit debtors\u2019 legal team and plan to defend Springshot\u2019s proprietary data at the upcoming hearing. They feel confident the court will take their concerns seriously. But there are no guarantees, as the bankruptcy court prepares to approve this unusual sale. Kreuzkamp said it remains unclear what process a bankrupt company like Spirit should be taking to \u201censure that it extricates everything that is proprietary from a dataset.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI just think it\u2019s a very complex issue when it comes to extricating the data that\u2019s owned by somebody else,\u201d Kreuzkamp said. However, now\u2019s the time to do it, he suggested, since \u201conce you throw data into an AI model, it\u2019s impossible to trace what the model did with that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Late Google rival vows to resolve objections Last week, an AI training data lab, Micro1, put in a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":843330,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[182,181,507,74],"class_list":["post-843329","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/843329","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=843329"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/843329\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/843330"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=843329"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=843329"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=843329"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
