    With copilot you can lock your data into your own tenant. You don’t leak data that way (except to Microsoft I guess)

      openai is almost a Microsoft branch, what you said doesn’t made much sense to me

        The selling point for M365 Copilot is that it is a turnkey AI platform that does not use data input by its enterprise customers to train generally available AI models. This prevents their internal data from being output to randos using ChatGPT. OpenAI definitely does use ChatGPT conversations to further train ChatGPT so there is a major risk of data leakage.

        Same situation with all other public LLMs. Microsoft’s investments in OpenAI aren’t really relevant in this situation.

    Why is this news? Every company that deals with intellectual property, proprietary information, and/or sensitive information should not be using public LLM tools due to the risk of leaking that data. That is why these companies are providing more sandboxed versions of these tools to protect against the issue.

    Ehh, kinda.

    The DWP is trialing an internal tool based on Microsoft Copilot, a digital assistant, to help automate tasks, Civil Service World reported.

    Looks like they’re wrapping it in some stuff to govern its usage. They could’ve done this with vanilla Chat GPT, but they’re probably partnering with Microsoft because Microsoft is massive enough to actually build part of the solution.

    MS staffed up to do a fuck load of enterprise copilot stuff. I personally know a number of companies working with them on partnered copilot projects.

    Copilot is an official Microsoft offering like Outlook or PowerBI, of course they’d rather you use a product officially sanctioned by the company you already pay to handle your productivity software.

      There was that whole thing where MS trained it on open source code from GitHub, which means that they didn’t just use ChatGPT but made their own model

        Microsoft Copilot and Github Copilot are not the same thing, despite Microsoft owning both. Just a lot of people like the “copilot” image. I assume they’ll eventually change one of the them to the similarly positive “Fuckbuddy” because “Crutch” sounds too negative
