Microsoft is pushing Copilot hard to corporate customers, but its own legal terms say the AI assistant is for entertainment purposes only. The terms, last updated October 24, 2025, warn that Copilot "can make mistakes" and users shouldn't "rely on Copilot for important advice." A Microsoft spokesperson told PCMag this is "legacy language" that "is no longer reflective of how Copilot is used today and will be altered with our next update."
Copilot is 'for entertainment purposes only' in Microsoft terms
Microsoft's Copilot terms state the AI is 'for entertainment purposes only' and warn against relying on it for important advice. A spokesperson called this 'legacy language' that will be updated. OpenAI and xAI have similar disclaimers, categorizing AI outputs as non-professional opinion rather than actionable advice.
