Microsoft denies training AI models on user data

Microsoft denied claims that it uses customer data from its Microsoft 365 applications, like Word and Excel, for training AI models.

Addressing concerns raised on social media, Microsoft clarified its “connected experiences” feature is not related to AI model training.

The company explained that “connected experiences” drive features like co-authoring and cloud storage.

It reassured customers that these functions are separate from AI model training processes.
