How to make AI-generated code secure with OpenSSF guide

🚨 AI code assistants are powerful, but they’re only as secure as the prompts you give them. That’s why the OpenSSF Best Practices and AI/ML Working Groups created the new Security-Focused Guide for AI Code Assistant Instructions, led by Avishay Balter (Microsoft) and contributors from Microsoft, Google, and Red Hat. This practical resource helps developers write clear, security-focused prompts so assistants generate safer, more reliable code. 📖 Read the blog by Avishay Balter and David A. Wheeler to explore the guide and start collaborating today: https://lnkd.in/e-WfQu5C

BGAD News: Microsoft Copilot Study in UK: No Evidence of Productivity Gains: The UK government’s Microsoft 365 Copilot trial found staff satisfied and tasks eased, but no clear productivity gains, raising doubts about AI’s … http://dlvr.it/TMyvSp bgadconsulting.com

AI News Update - Major shift in the AI landscape: Microsoft is integrating Anthropic's Claude into Office 365 applications, moving away from exclusive reliance on OpenAI despite their $13 billion partnership. This signals a new era where tech giants are diversifying their AI providers based on performance rather than loyalty. The implications for enterprise AI adoption are significant. #ArtificialIntelligence #Microsoft #EnterpriseAI #TechStrategy #AIAdoption

Is relying on a single AI provider limiting your organization's potential? Microsoft doesn't think so anymore. They've just added Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4 to Office 365 Copilot, breaking their exclusive relationship with OpenAI. This strategic shift creates a multi-model AI ecosystem that offers users more diverse capabilities and reduces dependency risks. For enterprises investing in AI infrastructure, this move signals an important trend: diversification of AI providers may become the new standard for robust business solutions.

From Hard Choices to Smart Choices: The New Era of AI Until now, I always had to choose. On one side – the undeniably best AI model available commercially (GPT). On the other – the security, convenience, and deep integration of Microsoft Copilot. Copilot had a huge advantage: it lived inside the Microsoft ecosystem, managing hundreds of emails, meetings, and files with enterprise-grade security. Yet, every time I turned to GPT, the difference in quality was immediately visible – it was simply better. For a long time, it felt like a trade-off between performance and security & integration. Now, finally, I don’t have to choose. We are entering a new stage where the power of GPT meets the trust and productivity of Copilot – and that opens up a completely different level of possibilities for professionals and businesses.

“Person who understands thing more effective than person who doesn’t” isn’t exactly a shocking headline but as the AI gold rush has entered a bit of a “reality check” phase and stories like Microsoft requiring and measuring employees by volume of interactions with Copilot are becoming increasingly commonplace, users are almost creating their own unwitting mini-singularity. LLMs are a fantastic facilitator of, but not a replacement for, critical thinking. AI is approaching ubiquity, at least in large enterprises, and misplaced trust in its capabilities (whether due to lack of understanding or overpromises from providers) ends up doing more harm than good. It’s truly, actually, genuinely critical to educate users on the capabilities, and shortcomings, of LLMs in the workplace to ensure productive and secure interactions.  https://archive.ph/VHHAE

AI won't replace you directly, but someone using AI most definitely will. Using AI makes productivity skyrocket, saving hours in menial tasks and unproductive repiticious tasks. Copilot tends to be my favorite with all the applications it ties into for Microsoft 365. But various other types of AI, both agentic and basic generative AI are helpful.

AI dependence is out. AI sovereignty is in. Microsoft just unveiled  𝐌𝐀𝐈-𝐕𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞-𝟏 and 𝐌𝐀𝐈-𝟏-𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰,its first-ever models built entirely in-house. Faster speech, smarter responses, consumer-ready scale, all without relying solely on OpenAI. This marks a turning point: tech giants don’t just want AI access, they want AI independence. Could this shift rewrite the balance of power in the AI race? Wildnet Technologies #Buildwithedge #AITech #AIFirst #WildnetEdge #Microsoft

Implementing AI in our organizations is, first and foremost, a people and change management issue and only secondarily a technical one. I like the approach of Microsoft COO Carolina Dybeck Happe in this article very much. https://lnkd.in/eHHHTSqi

As we’ve started rolling out Microsoft’s AI tools, I’ve been testing them in my own workflows before encouraging others to adopt them. AI excels at drafting, but still needs human review for accuracy and tone. Small, well-defined tasks (“summarize this policy”) produce better results than broad requests. The biggest benefit isn’t speed, it’s freeing up time for higher-value work. These lessons remind me that adopting AI is less about replacing effort and more about redirecting it. The technology amplifies good habits but doesn’t fix weak processes. For me, the experiment has been less about what AI can do and more about how I can work differently with it. #AIInIT #Microsoft365 #Copilot #ModernWorkplace #DigitalTransformation #TechLeadership
