Companies must consider the legal challenges, including data protection, posed by AI services such as Microsoft Copilot

Artificial intelligence (AI) services such as Microsoft 365 Copilot, a generative AI-powered technology, aim to help users with a variety of tasks such as drafting documents or summarising meeting notes. Since Copilot has been made available to the general public, companies have begun to evaluate use cases for such AI services.
