Cursor Tightens Grok Bot Training Rules After Employee Data Concerns

Cursor tightened access to Sand and moved to exclude employee-use data from future training after engineers raised concerns that confidential business information could reach data shared with SpaceXAI. Sand was an internal version of Grok Bot that Cursor employees used for product testing and everyday work. In late July, engineers questioned whether activity on the tool could have brought confidential details about customers, suppliers or business partners into information sent to SpaceXAI for model training. Cursor reviewed which users appeared in data it had already sent. It then required a Cursor email address to access Sand and changed future training practices to leave out employee-use data. Personal email use also complicated efforts to match employees to the data.
