Your approach seems to have elements from the new Purview AI hub UI. There's a lot you can do to apply governance, data protection and alerting to copilot or any other supported gen AI app.

Great stuff 🙂

I have been noted about a risk is the Copilot's abillity to ask bing when in need for some updated information from internett while querying the corporate data.

"When a Bing web search is utilized, Copilot will extract the query text from the user's prompt and send it to Bing for processing, which means it leaves the tenant boundary. Although the user and tenant IDs are anonymized, the extracted query text might still include sensitive business information."

Do we need to worry about this, Andy?

...and what to say to compliance to calm them down 😞

Hi Andy - We've been getting questions in our org, about calendar+copilot. So it seems that we're not able to have copilot schedule meetings on our behalf. From what we've been able to find it seems that it only works on pure cloud environments - can you maybe confirm this information :D?

Hi Andy. It appears we need an E3 or E5 subscription to utilize the Trainable Classifiers. Do all users need an E3 or E5 subscription, or just me if I want to set up the classifiers?

Hopefully GCC High is safe from this nonsense for a while.

Yeah most of our customers don't need this technology yet, but it's interesting to see how this is being used today. I guess in the coming years we'll have ro adapt to this tech and its use in business.

Blech, all this AI stuff for end-users is a bubble.
People are going to detect when an AI is being used and get turned off by the cheapness of it all.
