Unity revised its language governing AI training on user project materials. Previously, the terms stated Unity would not train based on project materials unless users separately and specifically enabled a designated control. The updated language states Unity will not train based on project materials unless the control is enabled, which users can toggle at their discretion. The operational difference is subtle: the prior language emphasized a separate, specific enablement action, while the revised language clarifies that toggling the control at the user's discretion determines whether training occurs.

What this means for you

Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

The updated terms clarify the mechanism for controlling whether Unity uses project materials for AI training. The revised language states that Unity will not train based on project materials unless a designated control is enabled, which users can toggle at their discretion. This is a clarification of the prior language rather than a substantive change to the underlying right; users retain the ability to control whether their materials are used for training by toggling the designated setting.

What you can do

→ Review the AI training control setting in your Unity account to confirm whether you wish to enable or disable training on your project materials.
