Sensitivity Labels and CoPilot - "No AI"
As a Purview Administrator, I recently received a request that might resonate with many of you: add a “No AI” designation to every sublabel we have. Why? Because our contracts and EULAs explicitly state that certain documents must not be used with AI tools.
This raises an important question: What’s the best way to implement this without creating unnecessary complexity?
The Challenge
If we simply append “NoAI” to every existing label and sublabel, we end up duplicating our entire labeling structure. For example, if you follow Microsoft’s guidance on default sensitivity labels and policies, doing this “times two” for every label and sublabel is clearly not scalable.
How do you deploy it?
Best regards

Hello .....I agree on the fact that Sensitivity labels in Purview are designed for data protection and compliance enforcement, not as operational tags. Adding “No AI” to every label would create unnecessary complexity and dilute their core purpose.
A better approach is to:
- Use custom metadata or document properties (e.g., AIUsage = "No AI") in Office files.
- Implement SharePoint/OneDrive columns or content types for AI-related flags.
- Don t know if the approach to link metadata to DLP or governance policies is possible ?
This keeps sensitivity labels focused on security while providing flexibility for contractual or operational needs.
