Microsoft’s decision to offer “commercial data protection” will, I am sure, be welcomed by schools. However, it raises an issue related to auditing the use of Copilot, which may not be a feature of the business/commercial sector.

It will become important that schools are able to access the questions their students submit to Copilot and the answers it produces. This is part of the normal auditing process of classroom teachers, who are interested in any errors/misconceptions that their students develop as a result of using their teaching resources, which will include Copilot.

My question, then, is to inquire whether the audit logs for Copilot will include access the questions submitted to Copilot and the answers it produces.
