Microsoft has been moving at a lightning pace to develop and sell Genai tools since partner Openai introduced the world to ChatGpt’s groundbreaking capabilities.
While it may be difficult to keep up with the pace of innovation and investment in the company, we will discuss the development of two latest co-pilots.
Microsoft has not yet issued an official statement, but has confirmed many reports that it “continuing to experiment and iterate with generative searches.” This includes new AI search capabilities integrated into Microsoft Bing, and is currently being tested in certain jurisdictions.
Previously, users can access Copilot via Bing via a dedicated button. Clicking the button will bring up the user to another Copilot web page. As you move forward, AI Search will provide you with a summary of pages with the above quotes and website links if necessary.
Ultimately, the new approach integrates AI into search results and exchanges links into page summaries. Users can ask follow-up questions about Copilot being contextually incorporated into the workflow. Additionally, users can switch between AI and regular searches, allowing them to complete their research in the way that is best suited to them.
This new search option causes Microsoft to compete directly with Google. This is progressing smoothly in developing AI search capabilities.
Microsoft first launched the AI Bug Bounty Initiative in October 2023. Now, Microsoft has revealed a series of updates to the Copilot (AI) Bounty program.
AI Agent & Copilot Summit NA is an AI-first event that defines opportunities, impacts, and outcomes with agents for Microsoft Copilot and Mid-Market and Enterprise businesses. It will be held in San Diego, California from March 17th to 19th. Sign up now.
As stated in a blog post by Microsoft officials, the update is “designed to increase the effectiveness of the program, encourage broader participation, and ensure that Copilot’s consumer products remain robust, safe and secure.”
First, Microsoft has integrated Microsoft vulnerability severity classification for online services (online service bug bars) into the Copilot (AI) prize program. It will help you participate in the severity classification of Microsoft vulnerabilities in AI Systems (AI Bug Bar) to better assess and classify the levels of observed vulnerabilities.
Second, Microsoft is expanding its bounty program incentives to include vulnerabilities classified as moderate severity. “Researchers identify and report moderate severity vulnerabilities may be eligible for prize rewards up to $5,000,” the official said.
Finally, Microsoft is expanding the scope of its Copilot (AI) prize program. Currently, targets within the scope include Copilot for Telegram, Copilot for WhatsApp, Copilot.microsoft.com, and Copilot.ai.
“We are inviting all security researchers, developers and enthusiasts to participate in this mission,” concludes the announcement blog. “Participating in the Copilot (AI) Bounty program will help you identify and address vulnerabilities, contribute to the security of your Copilot Consumer products, and earn awards for your valuable contributions.”
With these latest updates and initiatives, Microsoft will take an additional step to expand Copilot’s reach and impact, ensuring it is adequately secure to support enterprise applications and use cases.
