Microsoft to give Copilot access to users' file systems
Original: Microsoft is about to let Copilot loose on your file system
Microsoft is preparing to let its Copilot AI operate directly on users' local file systems, with the company reportedly claiming that the agents and models involved will run locally on devices rather than in the cloud. Observers are voicing skepticism about the safety of the approach, warning that locally running software and routers are not immune to failure or security problems, and questioning whether giving AI agents file access is wise.
Why now: People are concerned about the privacy and security implications of an AI agent gaining access to their personal files.

But don't worry, it's totally safe because the agents and models will (probably) be running locally. Routers never break right?
