Last time we spoke about all the weird and wonderful things we're asking AI. 🤖
But here's the question businesses should probably be asking:
What information are our employees giving it? Because that's where businesses need to pay attention.
🔵 Microsoft 365 Copilot
When used through your organisation's Microsoft 365 environment, Copilot works within Microsoft's enterprise data protection framework.
It respects the permissions users already have within Microsoft 365, and prompts, responses and Microsoft Graph data aren't used to train foundation models.
🟢 ChatGPT
ChatGPT Business and Enterprise are designed for organisational use, and business data isn't used to train OpenAI's models by default.
Consumer ChatGPT accounts are different: depending on the user's Data Controls, conversations may be used to improve models, although users can opt out.
So perhaps the real conversation isn't:
"Copilot or ChatGPT?"
It's:
"Does your business have a policy for how employees use AI?"
AI isn't going anywhere.
📩Are you aware that Microsoft now sells their traditional business licensing bundled with co-pilot at a highly reduced rate?
