Microsoft Copilot

There is a lot of interest and excitement around generative AI. We want to encourage exploration of this tool as a way to be more creative and productive while also protecting our privacy and College data.

Why is Microsoft Copilot Chat College-Supported?

Copilot is FSCJ’s supported AI chat solution because it offers the power of GPT-4 with commercial data protection from Microsoft. It generates custom answers using current web data, and you’re able to ask follow up questions to get the answer you need. Plus, every response is accompanied by sources so you know exactly where the information is coming from. Be sure to review the citations for generated responses.

FSCJ’s Microsoft license allows employees use Copilot with their College credentials, which brings commercial-level protection. When you are logged in, you’ll see the green protected icon in the upper right corner. This icon confirms that your personal and College data are protected while you’re using the tool.

Using Copilot prevents leaking confidential company information, whereas using AI tools on the web may expose our private data to the public. Therefore, the guidance to everyone in our organization is to only use Copilot for AI-powered chat if using FSCJ data.

How Do You Access Copilot?

1. Navigate to copilot.microsoft.com.

2. Sign in with your College credentials so that you have data protection.

3. Start using AI for a more efficient and creative workday!
