Summary

Generative AI uses patterns learned during training to create content in response to a prompt. At work, it can help you draft, transform, and summarize information, but its output still requires your review.

Responsible use combines platform safeguards with human judgment. Three human skills put that judgment into practice: you direct AI with clear intent, verify what it produces against a trusted source, and own the result. You also protect sensitive data. Microsoft Copilot provides different modes for different outcomes, from answering a question to coordinating tasks, building a reusable tool, or supporting ongoing work.

Now that you've completed this module, you’re able to:

• Explain how generative AI uses prompts and learned patterns to create content.
• Identify responsible AI principles and practices for protecting sensitive data.
• Identify common AI risks and check key claims in AI-generated content against a trusted source before you use or share it.
• Identify the Microsoft Copilot mode (Chat, Cowork, Code, or Autopilot) that supports the outcome you need for a task.
