The updated terms establish a dedicated section governing AI features, including GitHub Copilot. The new language introduces formal definitions of 'AI Feature', 'Input' (content or context provided to an AI feature, including prompts, attachments, code, and conversation history), and 'Output' (responses and suggestions generated by the AI feature).
