Microsoft said the bug meant that its Copilot AI chatbot was reading and summarizing paying customers' confidential emails, bypassing data protection policies. https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/18/microsoft-says-office-bug-exposed-customers-confidential-emails-to-copilot-ai/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

@TechCrunch @stroughtonsmith I wonder what this could mean for an enterprise environment, something like maybe an org in the healthcare industry where there’s lots of secure emails being sent and received with patient HIPPA information?

@TechCrunch @stroughtonsmith Kinda funny, considering this—

Over 80% of companies report no productivity gains from AI so far despite billions in investment, survey suggests — 6,000 executives also reveal 1/3 of leaders use AI, but only for 90 minutes a week

AI isn't having a huge impact on productivity yet, but hopes are still high
