Microsoft is preparing to let its Copilot AI agents access users' local file systems, with the company arguing the approach is safe because the agents and models will run locally on the device rather than in the cloud. The claim has drawn skepticism, with critics comparing it to overconfident assurances that routers never break, and warning that local processing does not eliminate the risks of giving AI agents broad access to personal files.
Why now: People are debating the privacy and security implications of Microsoft giving AI agents direct access to local files.
Evidence
- Microsoft is about to let Copilot loose on your file system But don't worry, it's totally safe because the agents and models will (probably) be running locally. Routers never break right? https://www. theregister.com/personal-tech/… · techwire@gamefan.net · 3
