Jakarta, INTI - Microsoft stated in its terms of use that its Copilot artificial intelligence (AI) service was intended for entertainment purposes only. This has come under scrutiny, especially amid the company's efforts to promote Copilot as a productivity tool.
In the terms of use document, last updated on October 24, 2025, Microsoft emphasized that Copilot still has the potential to make errors and does not always work as expected. Therefore, users are advised not to rely on the service for critical decisions or advice. The statement emphasized that the use of Copilot is entirely at the user's own risk.
AI Should Not Be The Sole Source of Information
Similar warnings have been issued by other AI companies, such as OpenAI and xAI, which caution that AI results should not be considered absolute truth or the sole source of information.
However, the statement "for entertainment purposes" has drawn public attention because it is inconsistent with Microsoft's strategy of encouraging the use of Copilot in professional work environments. In response, a Microsoft spokesperson explained that the phrase is outdated and no longer relevant to Copilot's current functionality and will be updated in future versions.
Conclusion
Microsoft stated in its terms of use that Copilot is for entertainment purposes only and can make mistakes, so users should not rely on it for critical decisions, similar to warnings from OpenAI and xAI. This statement drew attention for contradicting Microsoft's efforts to promote Copilot for corporate productivity, but the company confirmed that the terms are outdated and will be updated in the future.
