Atlassian Enables Default Data Collection to Train AI

Article

• Atlassian opts all free and paid customers into AI training data collection by default
• Covers all in-app content: Confluence pages, Jira tickets, etc.
• Government and HIPAA users are carved out; opt-out UI reportedly broken
• Data residency settings do not exempt you from training use

Discussion

• Broken opt-out UI called out as especially egregious alongside broad data scope
• Speculation: Anthropic acquisition rumors make the data grab make sense
• Atlassian’s general quality/P0 bug reputation adds to frustration
• One dissenter: Atlassian data is meant to be shared knowledge, training is fine
