Copilot

Microsoft Copilot combines the power of large language models (LLMs) with up-to-date information from the web to give you better answers, greater efficiency, and new ways to be creative. The version of Copilot we have access to is called Copilot with EDP (enterprise data protection), the shield at the top tells you that you are logged into to Copilot and that enterprise data protection is active.

Features

• Secure UWM Data – Copilot with EDP encrypts all prompts and responses and keeps UWM data isolated within the university’s Microsoft 365 environment.
• Your Data Stays Private – Information entered by UWM faculty and staff is never used to train AI models and is only processed based on institutional use.
• Respects UWM Access Permissions – Copilot only surfaces data that faculty or staff already have permission to access, aligning with UWM identity and security controls.
• Built on UWM Compliance Policies – Copilot follows existing UWM policies like sensitivity labels, retention rules, and audit logging to meet compliance and governance standards.
• Protection from AI Risks – Built-in safeguards help protect UWM users from harmful outputs, prompt injection attacks, and copyright risks.
• Administrative Oversight – UWM IT and leadership can monitor usage, audit activity, and enforce policies through Microsoft Purview and existing governance tools
