A compliance lead at a company on Copilot Business asks whether the prompts and suggestions generated by their developers are used to train the underlying foundation models. What is the accurate position for Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise?
- APrompts and suggestions are used for training by default, but each developer may file a support ticket to remove their data from the next training run.
- BPrompts and suggestions are not used to train the foundation models, which is a data-handling commitment of the Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise tiers. Correct
- CPrompts are used for training while suggestions are excluded, because only the developer's input text carries enough signal to improve the models.
- DPrompts and suggestions are used for training only when content exclusions are configured, since exclusions redirect the data into the training pipeline.
Why A is wrong: The business tiers do not train on prompts by default with an opt-out by ticket; training is excluded outright, so this invents a retraction process that does not apply.
Why B is correct: GitHub commits that under Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise prompts and suggestions are not used to train the foundation models, which is exactly the assurance the compliance lead is seeking.
Why C is wrong: Neither prompts nor suggestions are used for training on the business tiers, so splitting them and training on prompts alone misrepresents the guarantee that covers both.
Why D is wrong: Content exclusions stop named files being used as context; they do not feed data into training, so tying training to exclusions confuses two unrelated controls.
