How do I disable Copilot and all Other AI functionality in Windows 11 PRO

have windows 11 but dont use edge. will all just windows PRO have the copilot and AI or will all windows 11 have them? and if all have them, CAN THEY BE TURNED OFF OR UNINSTALLED PERMANENTLY?

Copilot can be disabled, which is what I did, because I have a subscription to ChatGPT-4, but it cannot be removed, because artificial intelligence is now part of the operating system and, increasingly, part of everyday life. So disable it if you wish, however, I think the better choice is to learn how to live with it, because artificial intelligence, for better or worse, is the future, and no one can escape the future.

I think the problem is with businesses that are under SOX or GLBA compliance regulations. CoPilot has the potential to "see" financial information and could send it to the cloud. This would violate those policies. Think tax preparers and accountants..

This comment literally: "Resistance is futile."

If this were a process that only ran locally, and NO INFORMATION OF ANY KIND WHATASOEVER was ever transmitted off of the local computer, to gawd-only-knows-who/where on the internet, then maybe I would agree with your sentiment.

However, seeing as this fad is merely the latest in a very long line of measures undertaken SPECIFICALLY to steal/garner/catalog as much information about you as is technically possible, at all times, the only sane response to being thusly assaulted by it is to say, NO [removed] WAY!
