Is CoPilot Safe?

If you’ve used ChatGPT, you know how powerful and helpful it can be.  

Today, ChatGPT is only one of many tools for generative AI. In late 2023, Microsoft rolled out its own AI chatbot for the enterprise called Copilot. Google also introduced Gemini (formerly Bard), which also has significant benefits and drawbacks.  

At the end of 2024, Copilot has already been deployed in many organizations. But it hasn’t been an easy ride.  

In March, the U.S. House of Representatives banned congressional staff from using Copilot due to concerns about data security and the potential risk of leaking House data to unauthorized cloud services. In June, Microsoft announced it was discontinuing the GPT Builder feature within Copilot Pro, which allowed users to create custom Copilot GPTs. Also in June, in response to backlash over the Recall feature, which captured and stored screenshots for AI analysis, Microsoft decided to make it an opt-in function rather than enabling it by default. 

The reality is generative AI tools like Copilot can be wonderful for productivity but introduce some notable red flags for the enterprise.
