Users and developers cannot use Unity's Offerings or any outputs derived from them as training or validation data for AI or ML models unless they have obtained prior authorization from Unity.
Interpretive note: The excerpt does not specify the source from which prior authorization must be obtained; it is presumed to be Unity based on context but is not explicit in the provided text.
The updated terms establish new restrictions on how developers and organizations can use Unity's platform in connection with artificial intelligence and machine learning. Training AI or machine learning models on Unity Offerings or data derived from them now requires prior authorization from Unity. AI agents, large language models, and automated systems may only interact with the platform through frameworks operated or designated by Unity. Account holders remain responsible for any automated systems acting on their behalf, and breaches of these restrictions may result in account suspension. The terms also clarify that Unity may use aggregated or de-identified End User data for research, marketing, and AI model training and validation purposes.
