Hotspot Engine Project Microsoft Copilot is an AI-assisted programming tool co-developed by Microsoft and GitHub based on the GPT-4 model that can be automatically generated and optimized based on user input and comments**. Microsoft's AI Toolkit is a series of cloud-based AI applications that cover speech recognition, image processing, natural language understanding, machine learning, knowledge graphs, and other fields, helping users easily implement various AI functions. These tools have a wide range of application value in different scenarios, especially in the field of education, which can provide educators and students with a more efficient, intelligent, and safe teaching experience.
To enable more education users to enjoy the convenience and innovation of AI, Microsoft today announced that Copilot and AI toolkits are becoming freely available to more education users. Microsoft Copilot with commercial data protection is now embedded in all Microsoft 365 education products, including a zero-cost license, which will be available to all educators and college students aged 18 and older, and will launch a private preview program for younger students this spring. Microsoft also said it will offer a new offer for university users: Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, which is designed to protect student devices, will be available at a discounted price. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is an enterprise-grade endpoint security platform that helps enterprise networks prevent, detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats.
Starting April 1, 2024, educational institutions, such as colleges and universities, can purchase Copilot for Microsoft 365 as a Microsoft 365 add-on for students over the age of 18, and students with Microsoft 365 or Office 365 A3 A5 licenses can use it for free. According to Microsoft, integration across Microsoft 365 applications provides a seamless performance experience, including:
Use Microsoft Teams to manage all chats, remote classes, meetings, and calls;
create, understand, and optimize your documents in Microsoft Word;
Keep track of your inbox and manage what's next in Microsoft Outlook;
Turn your inspiration into a stunning presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint;
Easily analyze, understand, and visualize data in Microsoft Excel;
Microsoft also emphasized that its commercial academic version of Copilot comes with a customer copyright commitment, which means that education customers can use AI services with confidence without worrying about copyright claims. The free and open Microsoft Copilot and AI toolkits will bring more convenience and innovation to education users, and also reflect Microsoft's emphasis on and support for the education field.
