"GitHub will collect interaction data from Copilot Free, Pro, and Pro+ users, including accepted outputs, inputs, code snippets, and user interactions, starting April 24."
"The data collection policy allows GitHub to improve model performance, having already seen increased suggestion acceptance rates from data collected from Microsoft employees."
"Concerns have been raised about the collection of private repository code, as data can be collected when users are actively working with Copilot in those repositories."
Starting April 24, GitHub will collect interaction data from Copilot Free, Pro, and Pro+ users to enhance AI models. Users are automatically opted in and must opt out manually. Data collected includes code snippets, context, comments, and user interactions. Copilot Business and Enterprise users are excluded. GitHub claims this change is essential for improving model performance, having already seen positive results from Microsoft employee data. Concerns have arisen regarding the collection of private repository code during active sessions, with data potentially shared with Microsoft affiliates but not third-party providers.
