How Microsoft uses data to provide intelligent recap

Customer data isn‘t logged or used for any AI model training or testing.

Intelligent recap automatically inherits your organization’s security, compliance, and privacy policies for Microsoft Teams.

Intelligent recap abides by Microsoft’s commitments to data security and privacy in the enterprise. Data is managed in accordance with our current commitments, while the existing compliance boundaries and privacy protections make intelligent recap the AI solution you can trust. For more information, see regional and country compliance information on the Microsoft Trust Center.

Intelligent recap also abides by Microsoft’s commitments to data residency in the enterprise. Data in Teams resides in the geographic region associated with your Microsoft 365 (or Office 365) organization. Intelligent recap is also multi-geo capable, for tenants that span multiple geographic locations. To review Microsoft’s data residency policy and documentation, see Data Residency Overview and Definitions.

What parts of intelligent recap are using OpenAI’s GPT Model?

Currently, only AI-generated notes and AI-generated tasks in intelligent recap use a GPT model from Open AI through Azure OpenAI Service. However, more AI-based features might leverage GPT in future versions of Teams Premium.

Customer data isn’t shared with non-Microsoft parties, including with Open AI. Microsoft runs the GPT-based models internally using a dedicated GPT service (Azure OpenAI). This dedicated service runs within the compliance boundaries that are used only for Microsoft 365 (and Office 365) services. AI-generated notes and AI-generated tasks call this dedicated and compliant GPT service, as well as other internal AI models, to produce AI-generated notes and tasks.
