Microsoft Unveils AI Assistant Copilot, But Raises Concerns Over Job Losses and Regulations

Microsoft's new AI assistant, Copilot, can attend meetings and summarize discussions for you. It can also draft emails, documents, presentations, and graphs.

Copilot is powered by the same technology as ChatGPT and will be available starting November 1st. However, some worry it could replace workers.

Copilot may violate new AI regulations in the EU and China requiring disclosure when interacting with AI instead of a human.

Microsoft says Copilot respects data privacy policies and is the responsibility of the individual user. But EU rules put responsibility on the AI developer.

Critics worry Copilot could lead to disruption of admin jobs. There are also concerns about over-reliance on AI that could fail or be hacked.
