Dear @Dr. Michael Brisbois,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum. The phrase “Intelligence data from AI assisted features” in a Word document’s properties refers to metadata indicating that AI-powered functionalities in Microsoft Word were used during document creation or editing. 

This metadata is generated when features such as Microsoft 365 Copilot, Editor, or other AI-assisted tools provide suggestions, summaries, rewrites, or formatting improvements. It does not necessarily mean the entire document was created by AI, but that AI features contributed to its content or structure. 

Microsoft adds this property for transparency and compliance purposes, helping organizations track the use of AI in document workflows. 

For more details, please refer to Microsoft’s official documentation: AI in Word—Features and Benefits | Microsoft 365 Copilot 

Note: 

  • This property is informational only and does not affect document functionality. 
  • It appears automatically when AI-assisted features are used (e.g., Copilot drafting, summarizing, or rewriting content). 
  • If your organization needs to audit AI usage, this metadata can help identify documents influenced by AI. 

If you need guidance on how to view or remove document properties, please refer to: Manage Document Properties in Word. 

Hope this helps clarify things! Let me know if you have any further questions or need more assistance.

    Hi Amy,

    I'd like to know specifically where this appears in the document properties. Do you need to Inspect a document to see it? Do you need to click on Show All Properties instead of just the basic info that's displayed?

    Did you look at the page Sophie linked?
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-US/Office/collab-files/view-or-change-the-properties-for-an-office-file

    Users of SharePoint will have access to additional document properties.

    I am not familiar with this marking as I've turned off Co-Pilot on my computer.

    Here is more on document properties:

    You could also look at the Working With Properties links on the MVP FAQ page for macros: https://wordmvp.com/FAQs/MacrosVBA.htm


    If you do not find the answer to your question in those links, I suggest posting a separate question to get more answers, perhaps from someone who sees such a property.

    The phrase "Intelligence data from AI assisted features" likely refers to the insights and information generated by AI-driven functionalities within applications like Microsoft Word. These features utilize artificial intelligence to enhance user experience by providing context-aware suggestions, automating tasks, and improving document creation processes. Essentially, the intelligence data represents the output or results derived from these AI capabilities, which can help users work more efficiently and effectively with their documents.

    AI-generated content may be incorrect. Read our transparency notes for more information.
