The new policy, the Copilot Copyright Promise, expands Microsoft’s existing coverage for intellectual property damages. It aims to address concerns about generative AI tools that may unintentionally reproduce copyrighted material without attribution. AI products such as Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot and Bing Chat have the ability to generate original code, text, and images by searching for publicly available data on the Internet, sometimes without explicit permission from copyright holders.
Copilot’s commitment to copyright protection ensures that customers can use Microsoft’s AI systems without worrying about potential copyright issues. Microsoft will cover damages and legal costs for customers who use these services as long as they comply with built-in content filters and guardrails.
