Don’t Delete Your Old Slack. Selling It to AI Can Be ‘Quite Lucrative.’

Résumé détaillé

AI wants your old PowerPoint presentations and Slack messages, and one broker says some companies have been paid a few million dollars.

Your company’s Slack history might be worth more than your office furniture. AI data brokers are buying Slack threads, presentations and other internal records and licensing them to AI companies hungry for training material, the New York Post reports.

The catch is that the smaller companies rarely qualify because they don’t generate enough volume. There are also privacy issues. Brokers strip out names and identifying details, but Ansari admits the anonymization isn’t foolproof. Still, he expects data licensing to become a standard revenue line for businesses, as common as advertising.
