Microsoft Copilot AI Collects Screenshot Text from Gamers
https://www.guru3d.com/story/microsoft-copilot-ai-collects-screenshot-text-from-gamers
Microsoft’s Gaming Copilot AI has stirred up a wave of privacy debates after users discovered that it quietly collects and analyzes screenshots by default. The feature works by scanning players’ screenshots using OCR technology to read any visible text, such as chat messages, in-game options, or menus. That information is then sent to Microsoft servers to help train its AI models. The problem? Most players never knew this was happening in the first place. The discovery came from a Resetera user named “RedbullCola,” who noticed strange network activity while testing an unreleased game under a non-disclosure agreement. He realized that Gaming Copilot was transmitting text data from screenshots without asking for permission. Since the game was still under NDA, this could have accidentally leaked confidential details, raising serious privacy and security issues. For anyone working in the gaming industry, this type of data collection is especially risky.
