GitHub updates Copilot data policy for AI training.
Beginning April 24, 2026, GitHub will implement a new data policy for its Copilot service, allowing the collection of user interaction data from Free, Pro, and Pro+ plans to train AI models, unless users choose to opt out. This data will include prompts, outputs, code snippets, and user feedback, with the aim of enhancing model performance through real-world usage insights. Notably, Copilot Business and Enterprise customers will remain unaffected by this change.
