Microsoft\u2019s new Gaming Copilot AI<\/strong> is collecting players\u2019 screenshots<\/strong> and in-game conversations<\/strong> by default<\/strong> and using them for model training<\/strong>. Here are the details and how to disable the settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An interesting detail noticed by a user on the ResetEra forum<\/strong> revealed that the Microsoft Gaming Copilot<\/strong>, an Artificial Intelligence (AI)<\/a><\/em><\/strong> automatically installed with Windows 11<\/strong>, is sending screenshots<\/strong> and recordings<\/strong> from the games users play. This data is being used by Microsoft<\/a><\/em><\/strong> to train its own AI models<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, this feature is enabled by default<\/strong>. This means that unless you manually disable it, Microsoft<\/strong> can use your in-game activities<\/strong> to develop its Artificial Intelligence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Information verified by Wccftech<\/strong> confirms that by navigating to Game Bar > Settings > Privacy Settings<\/strong> in Windows<\/strong>, the option “Model training over text for Gaming Copilot<\/strong>” is automatically enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The author sharing the news stated that they found this feature active on their own laptop and subsequently turned it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gaming Copilot<\/strong> can also use players\u2019 voice conversations<\/strong> during gameplay as training data<\/strong>. However, this feature is not currently enabled by default. Beyond this, the system can also collect personalization<\/strong> and memory data<\/strong>. Your text or voice chats with Gaming Copilot<\/strong> are also being recorded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
