First announced last month, the feature lets users describe what they need in Settings, like “my mouse pointer is too small.” The AI agent will then provide suggestions about how to address the issue, and can even fix it for them if users give permission.
Microsoft is bringing the AI agent to Windows 11 Insiders in the Dev Channel, but only for Snapdragon-based Copilot Plus PCs to start.
The vulnerability, called “EchoLeak,” lets attackers “automatically exfiltrate sensitive and proprietary information” from Microsoft 365 Copilot without knowledge of the user, according to findings from Aim Labs.
