Microsoft is updating its terms of use for Copilot after viral posts highlighted a phrase that says “for entertainment purposes only.” The tech giant acknowledged that the phrasing, which dates back to when Copilot was part of Bing, no longer reflects how the AI tool is used today. Microsoft will alter the language in its next update.
The company’s decision comes after users pointed out that Copilot’s terms say it’s for entertainment purposes and that users should use it at their own risk. In contrast, during CEO Satya Nadella’s recent earnings call, he praised Copilot’s accuracy and latency. The updated terms of use aim to clarify how Copilot can be used responsibly.
Microsoft is not the only company facing scrutiny over its AI policies. OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, and Meta are also reviewing their terms of use due to concerns about liability and responsible AI usage. As generative AI continues to evolve, companies must adapt their language to avoid lawsuits and ensure users’ safety.
