  <p>Microsoft, in partnership with OpenAI, made Copilot available on <a href="https://fossbytes.com/tag/github" target="_blank" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="ek-link">GitHub</a>. For starters, it&#8217;s an assistant that can help you with better code suggestions, but it has been recently brought to notice that the AI is leaking API keys that are valid and still functional.</p>
<p>First reported by a SendGrid engineer, he asked the AI for the keys, and it showed them. If you&#8217;re wondering the big deal here, API keys are critical as they provide access to all your app&#8217;s databases.</p>
<p>Developer <a href="https://github.com/dtjm" target="_blank" aria-label="dtjm (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="ek-link">dtjm</a> opened a request in Report Bugs where he posted an image of him requesting the secrets and getting back API keys.</p>

<p>GitHub CEO has acknowledged the issue, and the GitHub team is working on the issue. </p>
<p>Earlier this week, a lot of established open-source developers are moving away from GitHub. One of the developers said, &#8220;I disagree with GitHub&#8217;s unauthorized and unlicensed use of copyrighted source code as training data for their ML-powered GitHub Copilot AI. This product injects source code derived from copyrighted sources into their customers&#8217; software without informing thereof the license of the source code. This significantly eases unauthorized and unlicensed use of copyright holder&#8217;s work.&#8221;</p>
<p>If Microsoft is really doing this is still unknown, certain instances definitely prove the above statement. Here&#8217;s one of them.</p>
