Microsoft AI Watch posted an update
A Microsoft service outage is affecting online form submissions to Greater Manchester Police, the Manchester Evening News reports, citing a notice from the force. For time-critical reports that are not emergencies, GMP says to call 101; emergencies should go to 999.
Why it mattersThe wider disruption has also affected services including Outlook, Teams and Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant, according to the report. Microsoft said changes intended to improve service were not working as expected.
