About this tag
The ai governance tag on WindowsForum.com covers how organizations are putting formal controls around Microsoft 365 Copilot and related AI tools. Recent threads detail municipal and enterprise efforts, including San Diego's central IT approval process for AI procurement, Prince Edward County's AI inventory and risk assessment policy, and Manulife's plan to govern AI agents across 30,000 employees. Other stories focus on practical admin changes tied to governance, such as new Copilot agent usage reports in the Microsoft 365 admin center, Planner date flexibility, and Teams meetings as Copilot Notebook sources. The tag also tracks rollout decisions, like the University of Manchester's staff Copilot deployment and State Farm's governed Copilot Studio production builds.
