Anthropic asks Claude users to share voice data for AI model training

Anthropic has started asking Claude users to voluntarily share their voice conversations to help train and improve its AI models.

The new prompt appears when using Claude's voice features and explicitly asks users to allow Anthropic to use their voice data for AI training.

"Allow us to use your voice data to improve our AI models," Anthropic notes in the prompt.

"Audio recordings and voice chat data help improve how Anthropic AI models understand and respond to speech. Turn this off or delete this data anytime in settings."

The good news is that this appears to be entirely optional. You can either select Allow or Not now, and there's also a dedicated toggle inside Claude's Privacy settings.

Interestingly, voice training is separate from Anthropic's existing option to use your chats and coding sessions for model training.
