  Some Copilot functions are done locally on some computers with the appropriate NPU chips. But it’s Microsoft, so they’ll be sending data home either way.

    Yes, but them not calling it out in the article makes me thing this is not the case here. If it would be done locally, it would not be as bad. But I somehow doubt it would be.

  I don’t think so. It says it’s part of file explorer, so that would be part of the overall system, right?

    I 100% expect so. It’s much easier and cheaper to do it this way and also gives them data to train copilot further

    I might be wrong, though

    Just because the UI exists in file explorer doesn’t mean the data processing is happening locally. It’s likely happening on MS’s cloud. Maybe some actions happening locally on new machines with NPU chips

      I want to believe you, but I’ve been burned before.

        I’m not sure what you mean. I’m saying that this work is almost for sure being sent to Microsoft’s servers, which is certainly a bad thing. That is burning anyone who uses it

    I wouldn’t bet on it.

  Seeing as it windows its safe to assume literally everything goes to the cloud even if its not stated.
