Microsoft AI

Microsoft AI refers to the artificial intelligence products, services, and models that Microsoft builds and sells, including the Copilot assistants embedded in Windows, Microsoft 365, and GitHub, and the Azure OpenAI Service that gives enterprises access to large language models under Microsoft's cloud contracts. For compliance and risk teams, it matters because many organizations already run these tools through existing Microsoft agreements, which means data handling, retention, and access controls are set by Microsoft's terms and admin settings rather than a separate vendor review. Governance decisions about who can use these features, what data they can reach, and how outputs are logged should therefore sit alongside the company's broader Microsoft tenant policies.
