Microsoft Copilot Contractors Forced to Rate Nonconsensual AI Edits
Investigative reporting reveals that hundreds of human contractors are reviewing user-uploaded images and prompts for Microsoft’s Copilot AI. These workers evaluate the quality of AI-generated edits, often involving sexually explicit, nonconsensual, or disturbing content, without the ability to flag safety issues. While Microsoft states it uses data to improve products, it has not confirmed if users can opt out of these specific human reviews, raising significant privacy and labor welfare concerns.
