Scale AI’s Use of Public Google Docs Exposes Client and Contractor Data

Scale AI left thousands of confidential training files, client instructions, and contractor details accessible via public Google Docs, raising serious security concerns. Documents exposed information related to AI projects for Meta, Google, and xAI, including internal assessments and personal contractor data. Following a $14.3 billion investment from Meta, Scale said it’s conducting a “thorough investigation” and has disabled public sharing from its systems.
