Microsoft’s Copilot for Microsoft 365 briefly did exactly what it was built to do — read, understand and summarise email content — and in doing so it accidentally summarised messages that organizations had explicitly labelled Confidential, exposing a gap between AI convenience and longstanding...
Microsoft’s flagship productivity assistant, Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat, briefly read and summarized emails that organizations had explicitly labeled “Confidential,” exposing a gap between automated AI convenience and long‑standing enterprise access controls...
For weeks this winter, Microsoft’s flagship productivity assistant, Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat, quietly indexed and summarised emails that organizations had explicitly marked Confidential, bypassing sensitivity labels and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) controls designed to stop exactly that — a...
Microsoft’s flagship productivity AI for Microsoft 365 has a glaring privacy problem: for weeks a code error allowed Copilot Chat to read and summarize emails that organizations had explicitly labelled as confidential, bypassing Data Loss Prevention (DLP) controls and undermining a core tenant...
Microsoft has now completed the worldwide rollout of AI Workflows for Microsoft Teams, bringing scheduled, Copilot-driven automation to licensed Microsoft 365 users and shifting Copilot from a reactive assistant to a lightweight, tenant-aware automation engine that runs in the background...
Microsoft appears to have completed the global rollout of Scheduled Copilot prompts to Microsoft 365 Copilot users in Teams and related surfaces — but the story is less a single “flip-the-switch” moment than a staged, admin-controlled deployment that brings real automation power to everyday...
Microsoft’s investor-day numbers paint a picture of fast-growing AI adoption — and a very different picture emerges when you do the math: Microsoft says Microsoft 365 Copilot now has roughly 15 million paid seats, yet that figure represents only a sliver of Microsoft’s installed productivity...
Microsoft’s Copilot is in that awkward, headline-friendly place where an ambitious product becomes shorthand for a corporate misstep — and the comparison to Internet Explorer keeps showing up for a reason. The narrative taking hold in tech communities and some press coverage is blunt: Copilot...
The Department for Work and Pensions’ controlled trial of Microsoft 365 Copilot delivers a clear—if carefully qualified—signal: when a generative AI assistant is embedded into familiar Office applications and introduced with governance and training, central‑office knowledge workers report...
Satya Nadella’s terse line that “Copilot use is soaring” captures more than a talking point — it’s the signal of a corporate strategy that has moved from experimentation to full-throttle productization. Microsoft’s CEO has been using earnings calls, interviews and product demos to frame Copilot...
Microsoft’s decision to make Anthropic’s Claude family an enabled-by-default option inside Microsoft 365 Copilot is a structural shift in how enterprises will source, govern, and pay for generative AI inside Office—one that replaces a legacy opt‑in model with a Microsoft‑managed subprocessor...

Microsoft’s recent swap of the familiar “Office” gateway for a Copilot-branded entry point has landed as a marketing pivot with real-world consequences: users are seeing the Microsoft 365 (Office) app relabeled the Microsoft 365 Copilot app, icons and web endpoints updated, and a wave of...
Microsoft Copilot users face a new prompt-injection vector that researchers say can be triggered with a single click — a technique reported as “Reprompt” that abuses URL parameters to feed malicious prompts into Copilot, bypass built‑in safeguards, and siphon sensitive content from user sessions...
Microsoft 365 Copilot has gone from curious demo to a practical productivity layer across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams and the standalone Copilot app — and the difference for busy teams is now measurable. The core promise is simple: spend less time on repetitive drafting, meeting...
