To use Copilot, like most modern
softwareTo use Copilot, like most modern software, you have to agree to its Terms of Service (ToS). So, let’s start with what Copilot’s ToS actually says. In the “Code of Conduct” section, it states that “Copilot is for entertainment purposes only. It can make mistakes, and it may not work as intended. Don’t rely on Copilot for important advice. Use Copilot at your own risk.” In other words, Copilot isn’t accurate or reliable enough to be trusted with even remotely important tasks or as a source of information, meaning it should be treated more like a toy than a tool.

But Microsoft also doubled down on that “at your own risk” statement. In the “Important Disclosures And Warnings” section, it states that “You agree to indemnify us and hold us harmless (including our affiliates, employees and any other agents) from and against any claims, losses, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or relating to your use of Copilot, including without limitation your use, sharing, or publication of any Prompt, Responses, or Creations, or your breach of these Terms or violation of applicable law.” In layman’s terms, if you use Copilot as a tool and not just for entertainment (you know, like how it is advertised), then you can’t hold Microsoft liable for any damage it may cause to you personally or the business you work for.
