Commercial use of images generated using Copilot, Bing AI and "Image Creator from Designer"

As noted in other questions on this topic, the terms of use for Microsoft services capable of AI image generation appear to have changed in late 2023/early 2024 from a clear "non-commercial use only" policy to an ambiguous "Microsoft does not claim ownership of creations" one, with no mention of how those creations can be legally used.

Can an advisor please clarify the current (end of Jan 2024) restrictions on use of AI-generated images from Microsoft services such as Copilot, Bing AI and "Image Creator from Designer", as well as any requirements for attribution/watermarks to enable unrestricted commercial use?

    You and Microsoft alike definitely don't own the picture.

    From what I gather it is unknown whether the AI generated pics are free license or not, because of the way AI generate the images.

    It is in Microsoft's interests to avoid being clear on the subject, advise caution, and watch how things unfold.

    Edit: Actually this seems pretty clear to me:

    There are no restrictions on any use as long as a user adds a watermark to avoid any copyright infringement or plagiarism.

    A watermark of my own (mine or my company) or a watermark of Microsoft / Microsoft Copilot?

    I just downloaded the app, can you please walk me through being able to use the images for commercial use.

    1. Is it just images created in Copolit? Or are Bing image created images also covered?
    2. What type of watermark is acceptable? Does the watermark need to be only on mock-ups or do they need to be embedded into the image itself?

    I do wish to things correctly. Please help me to fully understand.

    Thank you,

    Wendy
