Yeah, I have found I need to be careful. When I have used it, there is no confidential information in the email. I do pay attention to that.
That said,I think it will be interesting as Microsoft introduces this into Office 365. You bring up a great point. Most people will not realize they are sending potentially confidential information to Microsoft.
Perhaps it's no different than Grammarly... But I think you are right that legal departments are going to be all over this.
Not only do you likely have access to all the other Microsoft stuff if your company is using teams, teams uses sharepoint for file sharing. If you use only teams for 2 years and one day login to office365.com, you’ll probably be surprised with the main screen that shows the files you’ve shared (without context, they’re just sitting there) and you’ll probably also be able to see what files your colleagues are sharing and working on.
It means quite literally what it says - if you have office 365 you most likely have all your data in the MS cloud sharepoint. MS also has a separate government cloud.
I think companies are fine with sending confidential data to Microsoft (Office, GitHub, Azure...). It's just so far unclear with ChatGPT if that data can come back out. It has apparently already leaked some user queries, so that was a very reasonable concern.
If they put it in Office and guarantee siloing information the legal departments will just have a regular contract to review and approve.
