# Permissions for AI Autodetect
{% hint style="warning" %}
Autodetect AI code has been deprecated in SonarQube Cloud and will be dropped in a subsequent release.
{% endhint %}
To activate AI Code Autodetection, a SonarQube Cloud Organization Administrator must first check that the feature is enabled.
Then, a DevOps platform administrator must set the correct permission level in your AI-powered web service. For specific instructions in your DevOps platform, please refer to the applicable section below.
## GitHub Copilot Business
When a SonarCloud administrator activates AI Code Autodetection (see the [autodetect-ai-code](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/ai-features/autodetect-ai-code "mention") page) for a SonarCloud organization, GitHub Copilot Business app administrators will receive an email notification to review the SonarCloud App’s permission request. The App administrator should review the request and accept the **Read-only** access to GitHub Copilot Business.
With access to your GitHub Copilot Business App, SonarQube Cloud can evaluate users’ GitHub Copilot usage and code contribution patterns to identify potential AI-generated code. If there is a match in user data, SonarQube Cloud will display the **AI code detected** status on the project’s Overview and Project Information pages.
SonarQube Cloud does not retroactively check older code from previous commits. In addition, projects that have the  label applied by a quality standards administrator will be excluded from automatic AI code detection. See the [#label-projects-with-ai-code](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/standards/ai-code-assurance/overview#label-projects-with-ai-code "mention") article to learn more.
{% hint style="warning" %}
If the GitHub Copilot Business and Enterprise account administrator chooses to ignore the request, Sonar’s AI Code Autodetection will be turned on, but not be activated.
{% endhint %}
