Microsoft stated that Copilot Actions is off by default and recommended only experienced users enable it, but did not specify required expertise or protective steps. IT administrators can manage the feature using tools like Intune, though concerns remain about user awareness and security prompt fatigue. Similar AI integrations are being adopted by other major tech companies, often moving from optional to default features.
