Copilot at KSU

All Owls have access to the Microsoft Copilot chatbot. To ensure data security, use Copilot while signed in using your KSU credentials, and NEVER share sensitive information such as social security numbers or bank account information.

Remember: It's crucial to protect sensitive information when using generative AI.

How to Access Copilot Securely

  1. Navigate to copilot.microsoft.com and use the button on the top-right to sign in using your KSU credentials. This keeps your information secure. 
  2. Note the Enterprise Data Protection icon in the top-right, which indicates that you are now using data protection. Begin interacting with Copilot by typing into the chat box. 

Please note that as of October 2024, your prompts and Copilot's output will be saved and you can view them in the right sidebar.
