How are reused the data collected by Trados CoPilot?

Hello everyone,

Here the more detailed version of my question:

Does the data collected by Trados CoPilot's LLMs (GPT-3.5 and GPT-4) when working with it on a project are stored on a dedicated server linked to our RWS account ?
Or are they sent  to OpenAI servers to train their LLMs ?

I ask this because I attended the webinar on June 25th about Trados Studio 2024 and its new features, and at some point someone asked: "How does the use of A.I. affect confidentiality issues?"

To this question, Daniel Brockmann answered we should ask our customers if they're okay with us using A.I. to be more productive, like in any typical translation contract's part about confidential content. If the customers are not okay, we just have to disable the option. Up to us to decide in cases with no real confidential matters from what I understood.

But he didn't specify if it could be a problem in the sense that the data collected by Trados CoPilot could reappear in its future suggestions on other projects (or just be stored somewhere less protected against hack, like our PC), or if it could be a problem in the sense that the data collected could be used by OpenAI to train its LLMs.

So : is Trados CoPilot directly connected to OpenAI servers?

I really need to know.

Thanks in advance for your help.


Best regards,

  • Hello Céd',

    Your question is very important, especially in the context of data privacy and confidentiality.

    Trados CoPilot, as part of the RWS product suite, is designed with a strong focus on data security and privacy. Here's a brief explanation of how it works:

    Step 1: When you use Trados CoPilot, the data you input is processed for the purpose of providing you with translation suggestions.

    Step 2: This data is not stored on a dedicated server linked to your RWS account. Instead, it is used in real-time to generate suggestions and then discarded.

    Step 3: The data is not sent to OpenAI servers for training their LLMs. Trados CoPilot operates independently of OpenAI.

    Step 4: As for the concern about data reappearing in future suggestions, this is not the case. The data you input is not stored or used to influence future suggestions.

    Step 5: In terms of data protection, Trados CoPilot, like all RWS products, is designed to operate over a secure encrypted connection, ensuring the safety of your data.

    Step 6: If you or your clients have concerns about using AI in translation, you have the option to disable this feature in Trados CoPilot.

    I hope this clarifies your concerns about data usage and privacy in Trados CoPilot. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
