Microsoft’s Copilot ‘notes’

Written By Mark Pesce

Microsoft has struggled to gain enterprise adoption of Copilot. Several factors have combined to land Copilot in the 'too hard' basket for most enterprises, including:

  • Organisational unfamiliarity with AI; 

  • An absence of policies concerning appropriate usage of AI; 

  • Few use cases justifying a hefty $50 per user per month subscription; 

  • Concerns about enterprise data privacy when using Copilot.

Five resources recently released by Microsoft reveal what they’ve learned over the last several months from enterprises preparing themselves for Copilot - and how those enterprises have needed to protect themselves when using Copilot.

Wisely AI strongly advises enterprises considering deployment of Copilot for Microsoft 365 to refer to these resources:
