You are prohibited from using Netflix content, data, or interactions as part of developing, training, testing, or benchmarking any AI or machine learning system, unless Netflix explicitly authorizes it.

This clause broadly restricts any use of Netflix's platform or content for AI-related activities, which is relevant for developers, researchers, and companies building AI products who might otherwise use streaming data or interactions as training inputs.
Interpretive note: The enforceability of contractual AI use restrictions against third parties using indirect data access methods, and the interaction with copyright fair use doctrine for AI training, remains an unsettled area of law.
For most everyday subscribers this provision has minimal practical impact, but for developers, researchers, or anyone building AI tools, it creates a clear contractual prohibition on using Netflix-related data or interactions in AI development workflows.

"Unless otherwise explicitly authorized, you agree not to: [...] (ix) engage in any of the foregoing in connection with the use, creation, development, modification, prompting, fine-tuning, training, testing, benchmarking or validation of any machine learning tool, model, system, algorithm, product or other technology.— Excerpt from Netflix's Netflix Account and Content Policies
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision is primarily a contractual intellectual property and data use restriction rather than a regulatory compliance obligation. It may interact with copyright law to the extent AI training on Netflix content implicates reproduction or derivative work rights under the Copyright Act. The EU AI Act's data governance requirements and training data transparency obligations may be relevant for EU-facing versions of this provision, though this Terms version appears US-specific. FTC oversight of deceptive or unfair data practices could be implicated if AI-derived insights are used in ways inconsistent with Netflix's privacy disclosures. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The scope of this prohibition is broad, covering not just scraping but also prompting, fine-tuning, benchmarking, and validation — terms that extend well beyond traditional scraping restrictions and reflect current industry awareness of generative AI risks. Enforceability against individual users is relatively straightforward; enforceability against sophisticated actors using third-party tools or indirect data access is more operationally complex. JURISDICTION FLAGS: The breadth of this clause may face enforceability questions in jurisdictions that recognize fair use or fair dealing exceptions for research or transformative uses of content. In the US, the intersection of contractual AI use restrictions and copyright fair use doctrine is an active and unsettled legal area. EU member states may apply different standards under the Text and Data Mining exceptions in the Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Technology companies, AI vendors, and research institutions that have any interaction with Netflix content or APIs should review this provision carefully before commencing any AI-related development work. Vendor agreements that involve Netflix data or content should include explicit representations regarding compliance with this restriction. Procurement teams at companies building AI products should flag this as a due diligence item if Netflix data is in scope. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams at AI companies or research institutions should confirm that no Netflix-sourced data or platform interactions are included in training pipelines or benchmark datasets without explicit written authorization from Netflix. Any partnership or API access agreement with Netflix should clearly address the scope of permitted AI use to avoid inadvertent breach of this provision.
