Microsoft Debunks AI Data Rumors: Office 365 Users Can Breathe Easy!
Microsoft has firmly denied using data from its Office 365 apps, like Word and Excel, to train AI models such as ChatGPT, debunking social media claims. The company clarified that its “Connected Experiences” initiative focuses on enhancing productivity, not collecting user data for AI.
Hot Take:
Microsoft is not training ChatGPT with your grocery list or those awkwardly worded resignation letters drafted in Word. So, no need to clutch your spreadsheets in horror just yet. But hey, on the bright side, at least Microsoft is showing us that they can actually say “No” to taking more of our data!
Key Points:
- Microsoft refutes claims of using Office 365 data to train AI models like ChatGPT.
- The “Connected Experiences” feature is aimed at enhancing productivity, not spying on your Excel formulas.
- Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 in 2025, but offers a $30 extension for critical updates.
- Over 400 million PCs could be affected by the end of Windows 10 support.
- Microsoft faces FTC scrutiny over potential antitrust issues amidst its cloud and software expansion.
