Microsoft Denies Data Harvesting for AI: A Wordy Misunderstanding?
Microsoft denies using Microsoft 365 apps like Word and Excel to train AI models. Despite social media claims, Microsoft insists the Connected Experiences setting is unrelated to AI training. It’s been default since 2019, offering features like co-authoring and grammar suggestions, but users can adjust settings anytime.
Hot Take:
Ah, the classic tale of social media misinterpretation strikes again! Apparently, Microsoft has been accused of using its Office apps to train AI models, but alas, it seems it’s all a big misunderstanding. Just like when you thought your cat was plotting world domination, but it was really just staring at a laser pointer. So rest easy, your Excel sheets aren’t secretly being used to teach AI how to take over the world…yet.
Key Points:
- Microsoft denies using Microsoft 365 app data for AI model training.
- The Connected Experiences feature is not linked to AI training.
- This feature has been enabled by default since April 2019.
- Connected Experiences enhance productivity with cloud-backed features.
- Enterprise admins can control this setting for their organization.
