I wish him well, but let’s not pretend like this story of going from an internship to running the company is possible. It wasn’t technically possible for him either.
If Hill had not left, it’s entirely possible he would have been laid off in July, like many other senior leaders at Nike.
Turning off OneDrive would eliminate this risk and all opportunities to collaborate in Teams and OneDrive. Is it really worth it?
It’s a huge challenge. We have no control over updates, and Microsoft is increasingly releasing new features before they build out the compliance tools that would allow us to manage them. As Tony pointed out above, agents may have critical impacts on current security and data privacy work. No matter, it’s coming. Figure it out.
As I mentioned during the ILTA session last month, I don’t see how organizations will function without a dedicated staff to monitor and communicate changes. Consider just how much work is involved in understanding Copilot and all of the compliance issues surrounding the use of AI, then consider how fast Microsoft is rolling out new Copilot features. It’s been a moving target since day one.
It’s only a small part of the M365 environment.
How often have we watched a C-level person from Microsoft remind us that AI will not take our jobs but help us do our jobs better? It was there to assist us, not work for us.
“It’s even in the name, Copilot.”
When I heard them talk about agents being our team members and eventually managing other agents and their tasks, I immediately thought this was no longer a copilot. If it’s a team member, that means fewer human team members to do the work.
This tidbit wasn’t surprising to me: While ILTA is at pains to emphasise that Gen AI accounts for only one tenth of its annual survey findings, one of the more interesting details highlighted ahead of its release is that asked: ‘What are your firm’s plans for Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365’, just over a third of…
On a deeper level, though, I remember that before I got into eDiscovery and legal tech, I worked in tech support. Many of the smartest people in legal and cybersecurity started at a helpdesk. It’s the starting point for many long and successful IT careers. So, what will the next generation of tech workers be missing if that role goes away?
