These features are currently only available for users signed in to Copilot with a personal account and we are exploring bringing these features to additional users in the future.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since becoming generally available in December, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/bing\/chat\/enterprise?form=MA13FJ\">Microsoft Copilot<\/a> has been adopted by workers, faculty, and\u2014most recently\u2014higher ed students, as their everyday AI companion with commercial data protection. They\u2019re using it to find better answers, maximize their efficiency, and instantly be more creative\u2014all while helping to keep their organization\u2019s data safe with commercial data protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-next-wave-of-commercial-data-protection-availability\">The next wave of commercial data protection availability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Ignite, we laid out our vision for commercial data protection in Copilot: to bring it to every Entra ID user at no additional cost. Commercial data protection enables organization to confidently equip their users with AI-powered chat. Using Copilot with commercial data protection is as simple as signing in to Copilot with an eligible work or school (Entra ID) account. With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kF1evgyjwM4\">commercial data protection<\/a>, prompts and responses are not saved, Microsoft has no eyes-on access to user or chat data, and that data is not used to train the underlying models. Users will know they\u2019re protected because next to their profile icon they\u2019ll see the \u201cProtected\u201d badge and above the chat input box they\u2019ll see \u201cYour personal and company data are protected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"492\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-copilot\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/cbeaff52-90fb-43c5-bd4c-31286be4a725.gif\" alt=\"A graphic of the Microsoft Copilot homepage, zooming in on specific areas of the page.\" class=\"wp-image-57\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since December, we\u2019ve steadily marched towards fulfilling that vision and expanded commercial data protection eligibility to additional faculty users, and to students aged 18 and above, helping to unlock the power of generative AI at institutes of higher education.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, we\u2019re thrilled to share our next wave of availability. Starting in late February, users with the following Microsoft licenses will be eligible for commercial data protection in Copilot at no additional cost when they\u2019re signed in with their work or school (Entra ID) accounts:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Microsoft 365 F1&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Microsoft Office 365 E1\/ E1 Plus\/E3\/E5\/F3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Microsoft 365 Business Basic&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Microsoft 365 Apps for business&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This next wave of availability significantly expands the number of users eligible for commercial data protection in Copilot, paving the way for organizations and schools to be even more productive and creative.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But we\u2019re still not done\u2014our vision is to provide commercial data protection in Copilot to every Entra ID user. As commercial data protection in Copilot becomes available to more users, we\u2019ll provide notice through the Microsoft 365 admin center to help organizations prepare their users for AI-powered chat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To prepare, explore the Copilot&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/Copilot\/StarterKit\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">adoption kit<\/a>, which includes key training and resources.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"copilot-at-work-school-or-on-the-go\">Copilot at work, school, or on the go&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether at a computer or on the go, Copilot is an invaluable tool to help you get more done. Over the last few months, we\u2019ve brought commercial data protection in Copilot to more places so that workers, faculty, and students can easily access it whenever they need it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Available across all major web browsers, eligible users can visit&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/copilot.microsoft.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">copilot.microsoft.com<\/a>&nbsp;and sign in with their work or school accounts to get access to AI-powered chat for the web with commercial data protection.
