Microsoft is aggressively integrating AI into its services to boost productivity and user experience. A key development is the rollout of Microsoft Copilot for Judges in UK courts, alongside updated guidelines for GenAI usage. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to embrace human-agent collaboration, as seen in the latest Microsoft 365 Copilot upgrades. The goal is to harness AI's capabilities while ensuring responsible and secure implementation across various sectors.

The UK Courts and Tribunals Judiciary are encouraging judges to utilize Microsoft’s ‘Copilot Chat’ genAI capability through their eJudiciary platform. Updated guidance emphasizes that while useful, judges must use genAI cautiously and understand its limitations, particularly concerning the accuracy and sources of information. Judges are warned that public AI chatbots do not provide answers from authoritative databases and are not necessarily the most accurate source. Microsoft has assured that ‘Copilot Chat’ offers enterprise data protection and operates within Microsoft 365's security frameworks when accessed via the eJudiciary account.

Microsoft is also working to enhance safety and security in AI agent systems. The Microsoft AI Red Team has released a whitepaper outlining the taxonomy of failure modes in AI agents, to help security professionals and machine learning engineers understand potential risks. This effort involved cataloging failures from internal red teaming, collaboration with various Microsoft teams, and interviews with external practitioners. The taxonomy identifies failure modes across security and safety pillars, addressing issues from data exfiltration to biased service delivery.
