Join Our Post-Ignite AMA Event: Gain Insights on Copilot for Microsoft 365!
Event details
A [..] privacy issue [..] if copilot [..] crawl(s) through the e-mails and Teams chat history of all the users [..] and then 3rd person prompts copilot to ask if someone mentioned him/her in a negative context.
Suggest to read https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365-copilot/microsoft-365-copilot-privacy and conclude that if a user can already access the content, Copilot (or more specific Semantic Index of which Copilot is an interface) can provide information to the user. If you as a user do not already have access to the data, you will also not get that in any of the responses. As such, your privacy issue doesn't exist as you already know the negative context around you as a person or not - so doesn't provide new information to you. There're also options to exclude locations from Semantic Index to avoid indexing, e.g. stuff that you consider part of your Online Archive of 5+ years ago might not be desired to index and present as information to your end-users.

Hi,
My understanding is that it is possible to grant access to only subset of a SharePoint to Copilot for Microsoft 365. Am I right ?
I mean : In the case that one SharePoint has not been cleaned yet, it is possible to activate Copilot for Microsoft 365, but not for this particular SharePoint.
Thanks,- GabeHoDec 06, 2023Former EmployeeHey Andre, not exactly in that manner. You're able to take SharePoint sites off Search, which would also prevent Copilot from reasoning over it. Taking a site off search does mean that it won't be discoverable and only accessible via direct link.
