Use Copilot to:

• Quickly summarize long web pages, PDFs, and other documents
• Craft and polish your writing 
• Create images for articles, social media, and more

Instructors can use Copilot to personalize learning, plan lessons, and improve efficiency.

When you log into Microsoft Copilot using your UB @buffalo.edu email address, you authenticate back to UB and enter your UBITName password. Your queries are then not saved, and will not be used to train AI. All your information is deleted when you end your session.

Copilot uses an advanced GPT-4 AI model to generate answers using up-to-date information. When using Copilot, enter prompts into the text box – you can use natural language to ask detailed questions or share what you’re looking for in a response.

• More effective queries are made in full sentences, with a lot of detail and specifics, and with tone, purpose, desired length and format
• Queries that are just a few words or have little to no details on preferred outcome are less successful
  

Microsoft Copilot is available to UB faculty, and staff with an A5 license, as well as UB students.

Copilot runs off of GPT-4.

Think of Copilot as a new, more powerful way to search the internet for answers. If you’re trying to learn about a new topic, start your prompt with “Explain this” or “how come.” If you have a lot of different articles with multiple perspectives on a topic, but still can’t make a design, try asking, “Compare this option and another option in the form of a table” or “Give me the pros and cons on <topic of interest>.” And if you need more help with making content, you can ask Copilot to “write an email based on bullet points pasted below,” or “Create an image” in a specific style.  

Copilot cannot answer questions about your work data, such as your emails, chats, and files, because it does not have access to those items. Copilot in Edge can answer questions about the tab you have open in your browser, including work content, if you have provided permission. After your session is closed or timed out, the content is discarded because Copilot protects company data.

When you’re in the protected experience of Copilot, you’ll find the green “Protected” badge next to the sign-in credentials in the top right corner. Above the text box, you’ll find a sentence that reads “Your personal and company data are protected in this chat.”  If you don’t find these cues, you don’t have data protection for your AI chat. To fix this, sign at with your work account.

When using any type of generative AI (Microsoft Copilot or others) it's important to maintain alignment with the university's data classification standard. Category 1 (Protected PII or regulated) should NEVER be included in generative AI prompts or inputs. Category 2 (Internal Use Data) can be included in Microsoft Copilot prompts when authenticated using your UBITName and password. Category 3 (Public Data) can be included in generative AI prompts with Microsoft Copilot.

With enterprise data protection (EDP), prompts and responses are logged, retained, and available for audit, eDiscovery, and advanced Microsoft Purview capabilities. The specific controls vary depending on the underlying subscription plan. For more information on EDP, visit .

No, prompts and responses aren't used to train foundation models under enterprise data protection.

Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft Copilot offer the same enterprise terms available in Microsoft 365 commercial offerings.

Use of Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft Copilot involves prompts (entered by customers) and responses (content generated by Copilot). With EDP, prompts and responses are protected by the same contractual terms and commitments widely trusted by customers for their emails in Exchange and files in SharePoint.

• Microsoft secures your data: They help protect your data with encryption at rest and in transit, rigorous physical security controls, and data isolation between tenants.
• Your data is private: Microsoft won’t use your data except as you instruct. Their commitments to privacy include support for GDPR, ISO/IEC 27018, and their Data Protection Addendum.
• Your access controls and policies apply to Copilot: Copilot respects your identity model and permissions, inherits your sensitivity labels, applies your retention policies, supports audit of interactions, and follows your administrative settings. The specific controls and policies will vary depending on the underlying subscription plan.
• You're protected against AI security and copyright risks: Microsoft helps safeguard against AI-focused risks such as harmful content and prompt injections. For content copyright concerns, they provide protected material detection and their Customer Copyright Commitment.
• Your data isn’t used to train foundation models: Microsoft Copilot uses the customer’s context to create relevant responses. Microsoft 365 Copilot also uses Microsoft Graph data. Consistent with their other Copilot offers, prompts, responses, and data accessed through Microsoft Graph aren't used to train foundation models.
