Podcasts about microsoft copilot

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Ulrich (Uli) Homann, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft, and Mark Luquire, EY Global Microsoft Alliance Co-innovation Leader, about how to build an agentic AI enterprise that doesn't just work faster, but works smarter and, most importantly, works for everyone. KEY TAKEAWAYS In the past automation has been very task driven and specific, things had to go in a certain order and you needed to know that order ahead of time. While you need some of that with generative AI, we now have a system that can help do some of that thinking, so if things change in the process along the way, you can deal with it. Now you can rethink what processes even need to exist and focus on the outcome and how to get to it in a new way.  By giving everyone at EY access to generative AI a couple of years ago we learned that people were able to accomplish more more quickly. They used it as a thought-partner, used it as a way to fine tune the product they were working on. Being able to see the evolution of generative AI to now where it's coding applications on its own almost, seeing the new agent capabilities and tools, and being able to take action on its own with very little prompting, it opens the doors to possibilities and what you'll be able to do in the future.  BEST MOMENTS  ‘Focus on where you want to be and then rethink how you're going to get there, that's the real key.' ‘It's not just an assistant to you, providing you with information, it's actually taking on work it's actually thinking through and processing those things as well.' ABOUT THE GUESTS Ulrich (Uli) Homann is a Corporate Vice President & Distinguished Architect in the Cloud + AI business at Microsoft. As part of the senior engineering leadership team, he's responsible for the customer-led innovation efforts across the cloud and enterprise platform portfolio.

Prior to joining Microsoft in 1991, he worked for several small consulting companies, where he designed and developed distributed systems and has spent most of his career using well-defined applications and architectures to simplify and streamline the development of business applications. Mark Luquire leads the EY organization's global efforts to co-develop innovative solutions with Microsoft and clients, driving growth and accelerating technology strategy. He oversees cross-functional teams spanning sectors and service lines, serving as a key liaison to Microsoft's product and engineering teams.

Inside the AI Classroom: Dan & Ray's Big AI-in-Education Download In this fast-paced news roundup, Dan and Ray dive head-first into the latest research and developments shaping AI in education. From MIT's Perspectives for the Perplexed guide for schools, to McKinsey's take on "agentic AI," to Google's LearnLM experiments with AI-powered textbooks, the duo unpack what every educator needs to know right now. They explore what's happening inside classrooms, universities, and edtech labs — including new findings on AI literacy, evolving assessment design, and why "policing AI use" misses the point. Plus, they debate the rise of AI-integrated browsers like ChatGPT Atlas, what it means for assessment integrity, and how tools like Microsoft Copilot are reshaping both teaching and admin work. It's the ultimate AI-in-education briefing — thoughtful, fast, and full of insights (and laughs) from two of the field's most passionate voices.

This week I discuss SAP's massive launch of AI agents throughout the suite, and the growing importance of Joule, SAP's business agent for all employees. The architecture is now well built out and I explain how AI is permeating the ERP and HCM space. I also discuss our new Galileo – Joule agent-to-agent integration and how MCP and a2a protocols are changing the AI space from a single “agent platform” to a network or AI agents which can now talk to each other and cascade and embed functions in workflows. Listen to my recent podcast on OpenAi's developer platform and how they also use MCP to bring applications together. Two big messages here: First, SAP really has its AI act together, making it possible for companies to get the best of SAP and other AI agents throughout their companies. Second, the new world of business agents is not “one platform” winning: it's a network of specialized agents communicating with each other. While none of us wants hundreds of vendor solutions in our tech stack, this interoperability approach is really positive because it lets specialized agents (ie. Galileo) work with others (Joule, Microsoft Copilot, etc.) to help you craft the perfect solutions for your company.

OpenAI is dropping a visual agent builder

Chris Zona is a litigation partner at Mandelbaum Barrett, practicing primarily out of New York City. With nearly 100 trials under his belt, Chris helps investors and businesses turn legal conflict into capital. By leveraging litigation, non-performing loans, and distressed assets, he shows multifamily and commercial real estate investors how to uncover hidden opportunities and generate outsized returns.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways Litigation doesn't have to be a cost center—it can be a source of investment opportunities. Non-performing loans (NPLs) often sell at steep discounts, creating entry points below market value. Attorneys can help investors navigate complex foreclosure timelines and risks. Judicial vs. non-judicial foreclosure states dramatically change the investment timeline. Building strong banking and attorney relationships is essential to sourcing and executing distressed note deals.     Topics Turning Conflict into Capital How Chris reframes litigation as a tool to unlock hidden opportunities. Why distressed debt and litigation finance are increasingly relevant in today's market. Understanding Non-Performing Loans NPLs often sell at 60–80% of face value, providing opportunities for investors. Secondary markets create deal flow as banks offload risky assets to redeploy capital. The Role of Litigation Attorneys Advising investors on jurisdictional risks, foreclosure timelines, and strategy. Using the threat of litigation to negotiate favorable outcomes without always going to trial. Judicial vs. Non-Judicial States Judicial foreclosures require lawsuits, trials, and long timelines. Non-judicial foreclosures are statutory, faster, and less litigious. Investors must factor timelines into their portfolio strategies. Market Conditions for Distressed Assets Rising interest rates and tighter bank policies have increased the number of NPLs. Why the next 3–5 years may provide significant opportunity for note investors.

Hello and welcome to Episode 291 of the People Powered Business Podcast!In today's episode we are talking about using AI in your workplace, and how it can be valuable for you and your team, but where you may need to be cautious.The reality is your team is likely already using it, even if you haven't officially introduced it. And while it can be an amazing productivity tool (I love it myself for getting past blank pages, speeding up thinking, and yes - it's replaced Google for me!), it also raises real questions for business owners:How do we manage AI use at work?What are the risks and rewards?And what do we do when our team isn't on board?In this episode, I'm diving into what I'm seeing with clients around AI in the workplace, how to use it well, and what to do when team members resist or misuse it.What I'm seeing right now is team members using AI for internal comms (and business owners being surprised—or concerned), AI-written job applications, ads, and emails: how to spot them and decide what's acceptable and a growing concern from business owners around privacy and misuse.So how can you use AI well in your business and your team? Consider embedding AI into the tools you're already using (like Canva's Magic tools or Microsoft CoPilot). I love the use of custom GPTs or Chrome extensions to fast-track SOPs and admin.But what about when team members are resistant or reluctant to use AI? You really need to get down to what's causing the fear to implement and addressing it head on.What about you? How are you and your team using AI?An Invitation:If you'd like to connect with other businesses who are also juggling the challenges of teams, I'd love you to join us inside our free Facebook Group, The People Powered Community, so I can learn more about what's working for you and any challenges you might be having.Join Here.https://www.facebook.com/groups/hrsupportaustralia

Microsoft Copilot Has Too Much Access! by Nick Espinosa, Chief Security Fanatic

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I dive into how the U.S. House of Representatives is reversing its ban on Microsoft Copilot, signaling a major shift in government AI adoption and a strong endorsement for Microsoft's AI capabilities.Highlights00:07 — Last year, staffers at the U.S. House of Representatives were prohibited from using Microsoft Copilot with official documents. This was due to concerns about House data security. Now that decision has been overturned. Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House of Representatives, said that technology could unlock extraordinary savings for the government, "if we do it right."01:10 — This news has two key takeaways. First, as Speaker Johnson stated, the U.S. government wants to win the AI race. To achieve this, it must lead by example. This approach not only helps to instill public confidence in the technology, but also demonstrates direct support for the companies it hopes will drive U.S. dominance in AI.01:39 — Secondly, this serves as an excellent advertisement for Microsoft — in particular, for Microsoft Copilot. With the House of Representatives selecting Microsoft Copilot as the first widely implemented AI technology to be rolled out to staffers — I say first because more initiatives are in the pipeline — they couldn't provide a more authoritative endorsement.  Visit Cloud Wars for more.

The newest agents for Microsoft 365 Copilot users can now act as virtual members of your team, helping you stay organized, informed, and secure while you work. Watch how these collaborative agents partner with you in real time across your everyday apps.

The Office of Personnel Management is rolling out Microsoft Copilot and OpenAI's ChatGPT to its workforce, following a similar move by the Department of Health and Human Services. According to internal emails obtained by FedScoop, OPM Director Scott Kupor told workers that Microsoft 365's Copilot Chat became available last Monday and that ChatGPT-5 access would be available “over the next few days” to all workers. Kupor said the move “is part of our broader effort to equip you with AI tools that help you work faster, think bigger, and collaborate better,” calling for OPM to “lead the way in using AI thoughtfully and effectively — starting now.” OPM spokeswoman McLaurine Pinover confirmed one of the emails sent by Kupor about access to the two tools. She said both offerings were the result of deals the General Services Administration has inked with companies to provide services at deeply discounted rates as part of its OneGov initiative. OPM was also able to add Copilot to the agency's existing subscription at no cost with Microsoft's new GSA contract in place. Similar to the HHS rollout, Kupor cautioned workers using the tools to still use their best judgment and previewed training from the Office of the Chief Information Officer. Federal workers will soon have the ability to use Meta's Llama artificial intelligence models at no cost for the agency under a new deal with the General Services Administration. GSA announced Monday it reached a deal with Meta, which will offer its open-source AI models and tools to federal agencies for free. The agency emphasized that the open-source nature of the Llama models allows agencies to “retain full control over data processing and storage.” Meta's free offer to the government follows deals from a number of other technology companies selling their products, namely AI products, to agencies for a significantly cheaper price. The Trump administration has repeatedly encouraged agencies to adopt emerging tech to streamline workflows. Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder and CEO of Meta, said the company wants to ensure “all Americans see the benefit of AI through better, more efficient public services.”

OpenAI has launched a beta version of Developer Mode for ChatGPT, which allows developers to utilize full read and write support for model context protocol tools. This new feature promises to enhance automation capabilities, enabling developers to create connectors for various applications, such as updating JIRA tickets or triggering workflows in services like Zapier. However, the introduction of this feature raises significant security concerns, particularly regarding the potential for prompt injections and the risk of malicious users exploiting these capabilities to access sensitive information. As the industry rapidly adopts this model context protocol, the need for secure configurations becomes increasingly urgent to prevent data breaches.In addition to Developer Mode, OpenAI has released GPT-5 Codecs, a large-language model optimized for coding tasks. This new model has reportedly led to a tenfold increase in usage among developers within a month, largely due to its integration with GitHub for dynamic code reviews. The Codex model has been trained on real-world coding tasks, making it a powerful tool for software engineers. Developers are already recognizing its potential to identify complex bugs that other tools may miss, which could lead to higher quality code and faster delivery cycles.Microsoft is also making strides in the AI space by introducing free co-pilot chat features in its Office applications for all Microsoft 365 Business users. This update includes a co-pilot chat sidebar in key applications like Word, Excel, and Outlook, allowing users to draft documents and analyze spreadsheets without needing an additional co-pilot license. While the premium version offers enhanced capabilities, the free features change the baseline for AI accessibility, putting powerful tools in the hands of every employee and raising concerns about shadow IT.On the cybersecurity front, the U.S. government has redirected crucial funding originally allocated to combat threats from Huawei towards tax cuts for wealthy individuals and corporations. This shift has left national security at risk, as projects aimed at enhancing U.S. cybersecurity and infrastructure suffer from a lack of follow-through. Meanwhile, the Department of Defense is set to implement its Cybersecurity Maturity Model certification requirements, which will be mandatory for defense contractors. As scammers increasingly target small businesses with fake reviews, the need for effective cybersecurity measures and compliance becomes more pressing for service providers.Four things to know today 00:00 AI Becomes Default: OpenAI Expands Workflows, Microsoft Democratizes Copilot, and Licensing Chaos Grows07:19 Huawei Money Gone, CMMC Is Here, and Your Reviews Are Under Attack10:04 Devicie, Zensai, and Apple Redefine Value: Automation, Adoption, and Repair Access12:57 Twice the Reach, No More Cash: Broadband Program's Success Meets a Dead EndThis is the Business of Tech.     Supported by: https://scalepad.com/dave/Webinar:   https://bit.ly/msprmail  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Highlights00:12 — Now on the Cloud Wars Top 10 growth chart, this is one of the great representations of this greatest growth market the world has ever known, and for about the sixth or seventh straight quarter, Google Cloud emerges as the world's hottest major cloud vendor, 32% growth, but Oracle and Microsoft were also rocking recently, and it overall shows a picture of enormous growth here.00:37 — Of the Cloud Wars Top 10 companies, only one, that was SAP, reported declining growth rate from Q1 to Q2, all the others went up. So let's take a look at those. As I said, Google Cloud up 32% to 13.6 billion, Snowflake, the smallest company on the Cloud Wars Top 10, also up 32% to 1.1 billion. Oracle was up 28% to 7.2 billion.AI Agent & Copilot Summit is an AI-first event to define opportunities, impact, and outcomes with Microsoft Copilot and agents. Building on its 2025 success, the 2026 event takes place March 17-19 in San Diego. Get more details. 01:03 — Those are nice numbers. But the big thing for Oracle is it has had just an absolutely explosive RPO. Oracle's RPO is $455 billion. Microsoft, another remarkable quarter growth rate of 27% of $46.7 billion. Now it's interesting that the quarter before that, Microsoft's growth rate was 20% so it went from 20 to 27. Google Cloud over the last two quarters, went from 28% to 32%.02:09 — Then if we look at AWS, 17.5% to 30.9 billion, excellent numbers, and in any, just about any other industry that would be seen as by far the best. But look at this growth rate, 17.5% for AWS, 27% for Microsoft, one of its major competitors, 32% growth rate, almost twice as high as AWS for Google Cloud. Yes, AWS is big, but it doesn't account for almost like a 2X difference there.03:47 — I think what we see with Google Cloud now that it's established themselves as a very high flyer here, but I think we're going to see Oracle to keep moving up. Microsoft, at the size of its revenue base, to grow 27% is extraordinary. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

AI is everywhere, but is Microsoft Copilot good at picking NFL games? There seem to be some demons in the machine, but Frank, Eddie, and Copilot are all confident about the Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions, LA Rams, Dallas Cowboys, and Arizona Cardinals heading into week 2. More injuries for the San Francisco 49ers mean that their season is already in peril, but can they survive against the New Orleans Saints without Brock Purdy? And a Super Bowl rematch is upon us, but Eddie is supremely confident that the Philadelphia Eagles will once again come out on top against the Kansas City Chiefs. Plus, 'The Paper' might actually be a good show, and it turns out that it's harder than you'd think to ship a Whoop.
