About Copilot

Copilot is a AI chat very similar to other well-known tools such as ChatGPT. It's a tool that's built into your browser and you can ask it things. You can get help with text improvement, ask it to read through text and suggest summaries, etc.

What distinguishes Copilot from other tools is that the security level is higher than tools found on the internet.

Information you provide may be processed outside the EU/EEA. All data is deleted when you log out of the service or close the browser window. If you do not want Microsoft to process the data you enter, do not use this tool.

What should I keep in mind when using Copilot?

There are several things you need to think about when using Copilot, including:

• You must be critical of the answers Copilot gives you. You must expect that Copilot creates text with incorrect information, but presents it in an authentic way.
• You must assume that the references Copilot uses may be incorrect.
• You must do a manual check of the answer Copilot gives you, before you pass on or use the answer it has given you in another context.
• Remember that you will probably not get the same answer twice. Do not use Copilot for tasks that require integrity.
• If you use or pass on text created by Copilot, the text/task you use it in should be marked with the fact that the text/task has been solved with the help of AI.
• Do not use Copilot to process personal data about yourself or others.
• Do not use Copilot to process matters concerning students or staff.
