Fortune 39

Phoebe Gates reportedly used a secret Stanford winter-quarter course to recruit employees for her AI personal shopping assistant Phia, later amid scrutiny tied to wire-fraud allegations. The course was described as a 10-week off-the-record class.

Why You Will Probably Never Know Which of Your Data Went Into AI Training

The EU’s AI Act transparency requirement forces general-purpose AI providers to publish training-data summaries, but the EU Commission’s FAQ limits what can be identified about any specific user’s content. Providers must list only the top 10 percent of domains by training-data volume (or the top 5 percent / 1,000 domains for smaller firms), leaving most scraped sources unreported. As a result, summaries become category-level disclosure rather than a way to determine whether your specific data or URLs were used, pushing people toward indirect tests, legal discovery, or future opt-outs like rights reservation and platform objections.
