Contractors reviewing Microsoft Copilot image edits can see uncensored faces in uploaded photos, users' prompts and two generated edits for each task, 404 Media reported. They select the better edit based on how well it follows instructions and its visual quality; the report says some requests are sexual.

The Next Web, which relayed the findings, said it had not seen the internal guides and contractor posts cited by 404 Media. Microsoft said its terms permit use of customer data to improve products and enforce its code of conduct.
