Copilot bug allows 'AI' to read confidential Outlook emails

PCWorld reports on a critical Microsoft Copilot bug (CW1226324) that allows the AI to scan and summarize confidential Outlook emails, bypassing privacy protections. This vulnerability affects Microsoft 365 accounts and compromises sensitive data like contracts and medical information stored in Sent and Drafts folders. Microsoft is rolling out a fix, but the timeline remains unclear, raising significant concerns about AI reliability and data privacy protection. For all its supposed intelligence, "AI" seems to make a lot of stupid mistakes--for example, scanning and summarizing emails marked "confidential" in Microsoft Outlook.
