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

🚨 The Signal: A new Copilot skill in PowerPoint for Mac, 'Prepare for Questions,' analyzes presentations to anticipate audience questions. It uses both Anthropic and GPT-5.5 models, potentially exposing sensitive presentation content to these AI services.

The Impact

Users with Copilot in PowerPoint for Mac are affected, with a low security risk related to data exposure to AI models.

  • End-users: Presentation content is processed by AI models, raising data privacy concerns.
  • Security Team: Need to validate data handling by Anthropic and GPT-5.5 for sensitive information.
  • Admins: No granular control over individual Copilot skills, limiting policy enforcement.

The Action

  1. Review existing Copilot and AI model configurations in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
  2. Communicate to users about the 'Prepare for Questions' skill and its data processing implications.
  3. Assess if current data classification and DLP policies adequately protect presentation content processed by AI models.
