Anthropic asks Claude users to share voice data for AI training

Anthropic has started asking Claude users to voluntarily share voice conversations to help train and improve its AI models. The prompt appears when users access Claude’s voice features and asks for permission to use voice data for AI training.

Anthropic says audio recordings and voice chat data can help its models understand and respond to speech. Users can choose “Allow” or “Not now.” The company says the setting can be turned off or the data deleted later in Privacy settings.

Voice data sharing is separate from Anthropic’s existing option for using chats and coding sessions to train models. Users can therefore allow training on voice conversations while excluding regular chats and Claude Code sessions, or choose the reverse.

In the interface described by BleepingComputer, the voice-data setting was disabled by default. This means users were not automatically opted in to sharing voice recordings. Anthropic’s prompt describes the choice as allowing use of audio recordings and voice chat data from approved sessions.
