Content generated by Copilot in PowerPoint is created by AI models that are trained over large datasets of presentations, internal and external data. However, outputs are synthesized from patterns in training data and may occasionally resemble existing content. Always review for originality and appropriateness before use.
Copilot in PowerPoint supports image generation using advanced AI models.
Request an image in chat, and Copilot will generate one if appropriate. Images can be inserted directly onto slides or returned in chat for manual placement depending on the request.
When you upload an image or refer to one in a slide as a reference for generation, Edit with Copilot uses AI to analyze the entire image, including objects, background, and style. If people are present, the analysis may include visible physical and facial features, as well as the number of individuals. Based on your instructions, Copilot may stylize the image, modify the background, or add new elements. In some cases, it may recognize well-known public figures but otherwise can't identify unique individuals.
Users must ensure they have the appropriate rights and permissions to use any uploaded images, including consent from all individuals depicted.
Copilot and Microsoft 365 are built on Microsoft's comprehensive approach to security, compliance, and privacy.
