Corrections Warns Staff Over Copilot Misuse
7.1
New Zealand Corrections warned staff after a privacy risk assessment found some employees used Microsoft Copilot to draft formal reports, including Extended Supervision Order reports. Corrections says only the standalone Copilot Chat is allowed on its network, about 30% of staff used it since its November 2025 rollout, and leaders are reinforcing policy, auditing prompts and coordinating with the Privacy Commissioner.
Key Points
- 1Identifies staff using Microsoft Copilot to draft formal reports including Extended Supervision Order reports.
- 2Highlights privacy risk despite Copilot restrictions; prompts are searchable and can be audited.
- 3Requires practitioners to avoid entering personal or sensitive information and expect audits and discipline.
Scoring Rationale
Official agency disclosure and regulatory relevance, but limited novelty and confined to a single government department.
