Recently, multiple netizens have posted on social media platforms alleging that the WPS Office software by Kingsoft seems to be sharing user-created documents with Doubao AI, owned by ByteDance, for training purposes. This accusation has sparked widespread attention and discussion.

Reports indicate that several users have reported on platforms like Weibo and Xiaohongshu that content from documents not yet published has been accessed by Doubao AI. This includes signed authors from the Tomato Novel platform who expressed concerns over data leakage when their unpublished local writings were accurately cited by Doubao AI.

In response to these allegations, Kingsoft WPS officially denied the claims via Weibo. The statement emphasized that WPS has implemented stringent measures to prevent unauthorized leakage of user information and explicitly stated that users' documents will not be used for any AI training purposes nor in any scenarios without user consent.

Additionally, Kingsoft WPS specifically highlighted that there has been no cooperation with Doubao AI on any AI-related levels, and thus no documents have been used for AI training.

This incident has sparked public discussions on personal data security and AI ethics. The relevant investigations are ongoing, and the specifics await further verification.
