dark data

The dark data tag covers discussions about overlooked, fragmented, or poorly governed enterprise content and its effect on AI adoption. Current coverage focuses on Microsoft Copilot and the challenge of making business information accessible to assistants used in Word, Teams, Excel, and PowerPoint. It highlights the view that Copilot’s usefulness depends not only on prompts or the software itself, but also on the quality, organization, governance, and availability of the enterprise content behind it. For organizations already using Microsoft 365, the topic connects dark data with content management, enterprise knowledge, and the practical requirements for scaling AI across business workflows.
