(Updated) New entry point for "Create pages with Copilot in SharePoint"

🚨 The Signal: Copilot in SharePoint gains a new entry point for AI-assisted page and news post creation. This expands AI content generation capabilities, potentially increasing the volume of AI-generated content within the organisation.

The Impact

SharePoint content creators with Copilot licenses are affected, with a low security risk related to potential for AI-generated content to bypass standard review processes.

  • Content Creators: Risk of generating inaccurate or non-compliant content if not properly reviewed.
  • Security Teams: Need to monitor for potential misuse of AI for content generation that could lead to information disclosure.
  • Compliance Teams: Increased volume of AI-generated content requires robust review processes to maintain compliance standards.

The Action

  1. Review and update existing content governance policies to specifically address AI-generated content in SharePoint.
  2. Educate content creators on responsible AI use, emphasizing the need for human review of all AI-generated drafts.
  3. Implement or reinforce SharePoint content approval workflows for pages and news posts, especially those created with Copilot.
  4. Monitor SharePoint audit logs for unusual patterns in page and news post creation, particularly from Copilot-enabled users.
