Affected users
All users Business customers

Microsoft updated three phrases in its Responsible AI document. The opening tagline changed from 'Build your business with trustworthy AI' to 'Accelerate business growth with trustworthy AI', and the supporting description expanded slightly to mention risk reduction and customer confidence. A resource link changed from 'Get the e-book' to 'Watch the webinar'. Finally, language about Copilot permissions was simplified from 'When you're using Copilots at work' to 'When using Copilot at work'. These are editorial and messaging updates with no material change to the document's governance content or substantive policy.
