JetBrains wants to train its AI on your code

JetBrains is launching a data sharing program to improve its AI development tools by collecting real-world coding data from users, since current AI models trained on public datasets don't adequately handle complex scenarios professional developers face. The company will enable data sharing by default for non-commercial users (with opt-out options), while commercial organizations must have administrators explicitly enable sharing to prevent accidental intellectual property leaks. JetBrains promises to handle all shared data responsibly under EU data protection laws, using it solely to train their models and improve features like code completion, security detection, and AI assistance.
