Microsoft shares new Copyright Commitment for Copilot customers

Microsoft’s AI-powered Copilots are transforming the way we work, and to address any concerns about IP infringement with using AI outputs, the company has announced a new Copilot Copyright Commitment. This states that if a customer is challenged on copyright terms, Microsoft will take responsibility for potential legal risks. This extends the existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services. Microsoft adds the important condition that customers must use the content filters and other safety systems built into the product and must not attempt to generate infringing materials. The move shows Microsoft’s commitment to standing behind its customers when they use its products and being prepared to address any emerging legal questions raised by new technologies like AI.
