No longer just a Copilot, Microsoft's AI wants to take the wheel
The Register 1 month ago
Microsoft introduced Autopilot, a new category of autonomous AI agents starting with Scout, which continuously monitors user activities across Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, and SharePoint to take actions without explicit prompts. Scout can schedule meetings, identify deadlines, block calendar time, and flag risks across multiple applications and systems. The service is powered by OpenClaw and currently available only to a select group of customers and GitHub Copilot subscribers, with concerns raised about security vulnerabilities in autonomous AI agents.
