In this Episode of the Practical 365 podcast, Steve and Paul deep dive into the Microsoft 365 Copilot exploit, "Echo Leak," discussing its implications for AI safeguards and the future of agentic AI. The conversation then shifts to a recent global outage affecting Google and Cloudflare, highlighting the challenges of maintaining hyperscale services. We also examine Microsoft's new initiative to offer containerized M365 instances in Europe, addressing concerns over data sovereignty. Finally, they discuss the latest advancements in Copilot agents, emphasizing the importance of understanding AI reasoning.
