Ask Microsoft: Are you using our personal data to train AI? (foundation.mozilla.org)

We had four lawyers, three privacy experts, and two campaigners look at Microsoft's new Service Agreement, and none of our experts could tell if Microsoft plans on using your personal data – including audio, video, chat, and attachments from 130 products, including Office, Skype, Teams, and Xbox – to train its AI models.

If nine experts in privacy can't understand what Microsoft does with your data, what chance does the average person have? That's why we're asking Microsoft to say if they're going to use our personal data to train its AI.

Just tell Microsoft we know they're using personal user data to train AI, and they should stop.

It would be off brand for Microsoft to do otherwise.

Never trust the businessman in explaining the bad side of the business, especially when it's the hated surveillance capitalism

They also won't be able to tell you if Microsoft has plans to deport you to Mars.
