About this tag
Data governance on WindowsForum.com covers the policies, permissions, and audit controls that determine how AI assistants and enterprise platforms access organizational data. Discussions focus on Microsoft 365 Copilot, Google Workspace Gemini, Power BI Copilot, and Microsoft Fabric, emphasizing that endpoint controls alone cannot solve data-exposure risks. Topics include default-enabled data sources, connector frameworks that avoid copying licensed content, governed analytics models, and the impact of cancelled migration tools like the Microsoft Purview Unified Catalog. The tag also addresses national AI policy gaps and practical IT governance decisions around identity, data boundaries, and entitlement checks for secure AI deployment.

    China’s 2028 AI Dataset Plan Raises Supply-Chain Risks

    China’s June 2026 dataset policy is a serious bid to make industrial and public-sector data more usable for AI, but it is not a published plan to supply “what the world’s AI knows.” The National Data Administration’s document sets a domestic target: by the end of 2028, China wants validated...

    Microsoft 365 Copilot Wins for Windows, Gemini for Browser Teams
