Intellicode FAQ missing information on Intellectual Property concerns #451

Open KorkyPlunger opened 1 year ago

KorkyPlunger commented 1 year ago

Hello. Our organization is preparing policies around AI-assisted development tools. One of our primary concerns is intellectual property ownership. I understand that Intellicode allows us to train our models on our own codebase, and keep our models private, but the documentation also says "this feature uses a web service to return real-world usage examples of functions that it has found on public GitHub repos".

If we we Intellicode suggestions that were trained on public GitHub repos, it's unclear if we could be accidentally incorporating those repos' intellectual property in a legally unclear way. For example, could we be violating the license of those source repos by incorporating derivative suggestions in our commercial product?

There does not appear to be anything in the FAQ that addresses this question, including any information about whether or not it's possible to disable the publicly-trained suggestions.

If you could help clarify this, we would appreciate it.

Thank you, Christopher Kline oneZero Financial Systems
