The company I work for (publicly listed) has granted company-wide access to Copilot, but requires users to complete a pretty extensive (2+ hour) training module before you’re able to use it.
Pretty obvious stuff like, don’t upload sensitive data, validate output etc. I just use it as a glorified search engine usually - validating function syntaxes etc., and also cot rewriting email to be less blunt.
Really comes down to whether companies have; no tech departments to stop employees from using AI, small departments that don’t want to deal with the headache, large departments capable of managing the rollout.
I wonder how they feel about the fact that Microsoft declared Copilot to be “for entertainment purposes only”, therefore shielding themselves from any lawsuits and leaving all users liable for the mistakes Copilot makes
Pretty unsurprised, I imagine - our training pretty much instructs us to not take anything it produces as gospel already.
Though given how much the company is getting charged for it, I think there may be some reconsideration in the budget for next financial year - given Microsoft have all but confirmed that it’s not much more than an overly verbose Magic 8 Ball
Given that the rest of our annual training refreshers are 15 - 30 minutes, and that I can boil down the training to 2-3 bullet points here - yes, 2+ hours is (relatively) extensive.
I’m a programmer analyst(don’t want to say where). I just notice on most job postings that AI is always being looked at as a tool for someone to use so i was just curious.
Well every job i have worked at requires me to not use ai. Is this all private companies?

2+ hours is “pretty extensive” where you work?

Nah, you’ve just been lucky
What field you working in? I know some are more security conscious and don’t allow AI for that reason (gambling, sports betting, banking)
