Microsoft’s AI chatbot Copilot leaves WhatsApp on January 15

Microsoft’s AI chatbot Copilot will no longer be available on WhatsApp after January 15, the company has shared. After that date, users on WhatsApp won’t be able to chat with the AI unless they switch to Microsoft’s own Copilot mobile apps or use the chatbot via the web. The company explained it’s removing Copilot from the popular messaging app to comply with WhatsApp’s revised platform policies, which were announced last month. At the time, the Meta-owned messenger said it would no longer support general-purpose AI chatbots from using its WhatsApp Business API to serve their customers. Instead, it wanted to reserve those resources for other types of businesses. This change doesn’t mean that businesses can’t use AI to serve their own customers. It does, however, put an end to WhatsApp being a channel for AI chatbot distribution, which will impact companies like Microsoft, OpenAI, Perplexity, and others. OpenAI had already announced its plan to wind down its WhatsApp integration in January. Unfortunately for Copilot users on WhatsApp, their chat history isn’t being preserved when they make the move to Microsoft’s platform because the access to the chatbot on WhatsApp was unauthenticated. Microsoft recommends users who need to retain their conversations for future reference export them using WhatsApp’s built-in tools before the January 15 deadline.

Multiple London councils report disruption amid ongoing cyberattack

At least three London councils are responding to an ongoing cyberattack, prompting officials to shut down their networks and phone lines and activate emergency plans. The local government authorities covering the London boroughs of Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster, which share IT systems as part of a joint arrangement, said their focus was “on protecting systems and data, restoring systems, and maintaining critical services to the public.” Hammersmith & Fulham council is also affected by the cyberattack, per its website. The councils, which provide public services like housing, social services, and rubbish collection, did not describe the nature of the cyberattack or blame a particular hacking group. They noted that an investigation into whether data was stolen remains ongoing. Kensington’s website said the cause of the cyberattack is “now established,” but the council “will not be giving out further details of the incident at this stage” due to an ongoing investigation with U.K. law enforcement agencies.
