Why We Trust Microsoft Copilot to Keep Your Data Safe
As a proud Microsoft partner, we are excited to share how Copilot stands out among AI assistants in protecting your data.
Are AI search engines the harbingers of a robot apocalypse, as Sci-Fi movies have led us to believe them to be? Are they going to use our various search inquiries against us in a violent, intelligent take-down of the human race?
I do not know; at least, I do not think so. What I do know is that the AI search engine you choose matters - not because Chat-GPT or Open AI will impersonate your first born child one day (I hope), but because some AI programs are safer to share your data with than others.
At inWorks LLC and art|Works Initiative, we are proud to be a Microsoft partner and are excited to share how Microsoft Copilot stands out in protecting your data.
In fact, I'm using Microsoft Copilot right now to help organize and write this post (but, I promise that the robot is not in control.)
Understanding Data Privacy
AI search engines work by collecting and analyzing vast amounts of data to provide accurate and relevant search results. However, this process raises several privacy concerns, such as data collection, storage, and sharing practices.
Common privacy concerns include:
Data Collection: How much of my data is being collected and why?
Data Storage: Where and how is my data being stored?
Data Sharing: Is my data being shared with third parties?
The answers to these questions informs which AI search engines we can utilize with peace of mind, and which ones to avoid.
