Bing Chat Enterprise AI infrastructure hosted outside EU or US.
Hej, When using Bing Chat Enterprise you state that Bing Chat Enterprise is using Microsofts global datacenters, this can theoretically mean that a chat prompt will be saved (for a short time) in a datacenter in India. This will be classified as a third-party transfer (according to EU rules) and can be a problem for european countries to use this feature with company data. Is there any solution to the problem above or have I misunderstood how Bing Chat Enterprise works? BR, Thomas
Add a Usage Dashboard for Copilot Task Tokens and AI Limits
Microsoft Copilot currently provides no way for users to monitor how many task tokens or scheduled task runs they have consumed, nor how many remain within their monthly allotment. This is a significant gap in the product experience and runs counter to the principles of responsible, transparent AI use. Users who rely on Copilot Tasks for productivity workflows have no visibility into their consumption until they hit a limit, which can disrupt time-sensitive work without warning. This lack of transparency creates frustration and erodes trust in the product. From a digital citizenship standpoint, informed AI use requires that users understand what resources they are consuming. Just as responsible internet use involves awareness of data usage, storage limits, and privacy settings, responsible AI use should include clear, real-time visibility into AI resource consumption. Microsoft has publicly committed to principles of transparency and accountability in AI. A usage dashboard would be a direct, practical expression of those values. The requested feature would include a visible indicator within the Copilot interface showing current task token usage, remaining tokens for the billing or subscription period, a reset date for the monthly limit, and optionally, a usage history or trend view. Notifications or warnings when approaching the limit would further support informed decision-making. This is not simply a convenience feature. It is a baseline expectation for any platform that asks users to integrate AI into their daily workflows. Microsoft has an opportunity to set a strong industry standard here by making AI consumption as transparent and user-controlled as any other measurable resource in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
Text translation in Copilot is using Google translator?
How does text translation in Copilot work exactly? I have seen cases where Copilot clearly states that "According to Google Translate, the translation is: xx". If the text is in a language that AI model does not recognize will Copilot go out to internet and use whatever translator service it finds 😮 ??
Bing Search exposing Bing Chat Enterprise interaction content
Interaction with Bing Chat Enterprise https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/bing-chat-enterprise/privacy-and-protections#commercial-data-protection. How does Microsoft guarantee that confidential data is not exposed through Bing Search when a user is interacting with Bing Chat Enterprise? There is assurance that Bing Search queries triggered by prompts aren't linked to users or organizations by Bing, but there is no similar assurance that confidential _content_ of a Bing Chat Enterprise prompt won't be exposed to Bing Search. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftsearch/security-for-search#logging states that there is a ‘set of restrictions or frequency thresholds’ that when met, give sufficient confidence that a query isn’t specific to a particular organization. It seems there are criteria in place governing which Bing Search queries are/aren’t determined to be specific to a particular organization, but it’s not clear what this criteria is and whether it’s applicable to Bing Search queries performed by Bing Chat Enterprise. Bing Chat Enterprise states very prominently to end-users that it ‘protects personal and company data’. If it’s possible for interaction with Bing Chat Enterprise to result in confidential information exposure through Bing Search queries, this isn’t entirely correct and impacts how my organization will assess the risk of Bing Chat Enterprise adoption.

Expected GA Release Date for BCE
In its current "Preview" state, BCE requires users to consent to the "Preview Version" of its Terms, which can be found https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/bing-chat-enterprise/terms-of-use. Notably, a specific sentence within the Preview Version of the Terms for BCE reads as follows: "You acknowledge and agree that BCE is being provided to you in preview and may therefore have limited or differing security, compliance, and privacy commitments." This clause effectively overrides any guarantees provided by Microsoft concerning Data, Privacy, and Security that would otherwise apply to BCE until it reaches General Availability (GA). This renders corporate Privacy & Security teams somewhat cautious about authorizing the use of BCE's Preview version in any live production environment. Do we have any information on the projected or official date for the GA release of BCE? Will BCE become GA at the same time as M365 Copilot (November 1st)? Thanks
