Salesforce's Slack platform has revised its API terms to prevent users from utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs) for data ingestion. This policy, enacted on May 29, prohibits bulk data export via Slack's API, mandating that organizations rely solely on the new Real-Time Search API for in-Slack data retrieval. These restrictions could hinder third-party data discovery applications and may alienate users who utilize LLMs for broader data searches. Slack’s justification for this change revolves around the intersection of AI capabilities and security concerns, aiming for more controlled data management.
The new API policy prohibits the bulk export of Slack data and stops organizations from training LLMs with Slack data while enforcing the Real-Time Search API.
Slack's decision alters the landscape for third-party AI apps, particularly for those relying on accessing Slack data for effective data discovery.
