(Updated) PowerPoint for Windows Desktop: 'Prepare for Questions' skill in Copilot

🚨 The Signal: A new Copilot skill in PowerPoint for Windows Desktop, 'Prepare for Questions,' analyzes presentations to anticipate audience questions. This feature, enabled by default, uses both Anthropic and GPT-5.5 models, potentially exposing sensitive presentation content to AI processing.

The Impact

Users with Copilot in PowerPoint are affected, risking inadvertent exposure of sensitive presentation data to AI models.

• End users: May unknowingly submit sensitive data to AI models.
• Security team: Increased risk of data leakage via AI processing.
• Compliance team: Challenges in maintaining data residency and privacy controls.
• IT admins: No granular control over individual Copilot skill availability.

The Action

1. Review and update data governance policies for AI-driven content analysis.
2. Communicate to users about the implications of using AI features with sensitive data.
3. Monitor Copilot usage logs for data processing patterns.
4. Evaluate existing Anthropic model configuration for tenant-wide AI data processing controls.
