This is already happening.

I work for very large IT company and they are upgrading to Windows 11 because they have to but AI tools like co-pilot are being blocked by default in the image we push to all users.

This is resulted in a very funny knowledge base article which basically tells the support staff to tell the users to go do one if they complain about it.

    Is that an internal KB article or something you send to the customers? If it's public I'd like to read it for a chuckle.

    Customers in this case being other businesses, so no it's not public.

    Basically it just boils down to telling them that corporate policy is not to make use of AI because of data collection concerns and to emphatically remind them that attempting to circumvent these policies is against corporate procedures.

    Technically it's no different than just taking internal documents and dumping them online.
