There’s a lot to consider when it comes to deciding whether you want to partner with the many generative AI bots that are now available in our apps. These include, above all, the ethics of using copyright, the growing demand for energy and the decline of human creativity.
When using these tools, keep in mind that they will often exploit real human input to further train their base models. While some A.I make every effort anonymizing this data, you may not feel comfortable with it. The good news is that in most cases you can find a setting to turn off training.
Disabling AI learning is not the same as clearing the history of an AI chatbot, although they are related. Your chats may still be used for training purposes before they are deleted. Or you might want to keep your chat history in place but still prevent AI companies from using your data to refine their models.
Below are instructions on how to disable AI learning in several AI-enabled applications.

Click your account picture (top right), then click your name and Privacy. You get two switches that you can turn off: Model training on text AND Voice model training.
These switches are located in an almost identical location in the Copilot mobile app. Then tap your account photo (top right). Account AND Privacy.

In the case of Gemini, you need to disable your chat history to prevent it from being used to train the AI - there is no way to set them separately as is the case with ChatGPT and Copilot.
On the Internet, click Activity (bottom left); in the mobile app, click your account photo (top right corner). Activity in Gemini applications. In both cases, on the next screen, look for Activity in Gemini applications next to the switch or button that turns the feature on or off.
According to the screen, your chat will be stored for 72 hours, regardless of whether you have disabled the app activity. When activity logging is turned off, when you start a novel chat, a message will appear that the current one will be deleted.
