About this tag
Data privacy is a recurring concern across WindowsForum discussions, especially as free AI tools like ChatGPT and Copilot become common in workplaces, creating shadow IT risks. Threads highlight how public AI tools can expose sensitive data, prompting organizations like Ohio University to issue safety warnings. Enterprise governance is a key theme, with Microsoft pausing Copilot rollouts to address privacy bugs and Lexington adopting Copilot-only policies to contain data exposure. EU border control cloud dependencies and behavioral AI models backed by Microsoft also raise privacy and accountability questions. The tag covers the tension between AI adoption and the need for formal policies, audits, and training to protect data.
