🌐 Web query:
Does GitHub have an official AI training opt-out mechanism using a .github/ai-opt-out file?
💡 Result:
No. GitHub does not provide an official AI-training opt-out mechanism via a .github/ai-opt-out file.
What GitHub does officially support (for Copilot behavior) is Copilot content exclusion configured in repository/org/enterprise settings (not via an ai-opt-out file) [1][2], and in some clients you can use a .copilotignore file to prevent certain files from being sent as context to Copilot agents (again, not .github/ai-opt-out) [3]. Additionally, Copilot has account-level controls around collection/usage of prompts and code snippets for “product improvements,” and GitHub documents that (for individual subscribers) data is not used for AI model training by default [4].
Sources: Content exclusion for Copilot [1], excluding content instructions [2], .copilotignore mention [3], Copilot individual policy page (“Model training and improvements”) [4].
Remove .github/ai-opt-out — this mechanism is not supported by GitHub.
GitHub does not provide an official AI-training opt-out mechanism via .github/ai-opt-out. Adding this file will have no effect. GitHub's official features for AI-related controls are:
- Copilot content exclusion configured in repository/org/enterprise settings
.copilotignorefile for excluding specific files from Copilot context- Account-level controls for Copilot data usage
The PR description claims to implement "opt out of AI training per GitHub policy," but no such policy exists. Users could be misled into thinking their repository is opted out when it is not.
