Can platform-wide AI ever fit into enterprise security?
Platform-wide AI is smeared like honey across the top of the stack, and we only have their word for it that it’s ant-proof.

“Aidan and I also talked a lot about what AI can and can’t do. We agreed that it’s definitely not “there” yet. It’s not ready, whatever you think the future might hold.”
Microsoft is working hard to develop stories around AI and why organisations need to adopt it. This one, by Microsoft EVP and Chief Commercial Officer Judson Althoff, provides lots of links to customers who are putting AI to work
OpenAI COO Brad Lightcap said 600,000 people had signed up for ChatGPT Enterprise, a specialized subscription version of the chatbot service that includes features such as enhanced security, and the ability to read and understand additional data.
The key disagreement is around how constrained AI’s development should be.
More than two out of three respondents (67%) predict their companies will increase investment in AI next year through either expanded use, further research or partnerships with AI software companies.
“What use cases are appropriate, and what aren’t? The ability to distinguish between the two is important, and it’s an issue for both companies that use AI and companies that don’t.”
‘Q’ can help people understand the capabilities of AWS and trouble-shoot issues. People will be able to talk with it in communication apps such as Salesforce’s Slack and software developers’ text-editing applications.
“People who work with information daily are excited about the capabilities of generative AI to help them discover and create new content. They may already be using generative AI by accessing Microsoft Copilot or ChatGPT in the browser.”
The standard service, designed to help improve search experiences and give every user a personal AI assistant, was available for free. Additionally, Bing Chat Enterprise was included in standard Microsoft 365 packages at no extra cost to users.
This month marks a year since OpenAI released ChatGPT into the market, and several large banks are charging ahead to take primacy in harnessing the burgeoning technology.
ChatGPT can generate accurate financial projections and identify potential tax liabilities. This helps accountants to make informed decisions and ensure that their clients are compliant with tax laws.
Three-quarters of the business uses of generative ai will fall into four areas: customer operations, marketing and sales, software engineering, and research and development. Navigating a complex tax code or summarising a legal document could become a breeze.
According to the leak, OpenAI will announce the Gizmo tool, which specializes in creating, managing, and selecting custom chatbots.
Businesses willing to pay the premium will be able to use Microsoft 365 Copilot to summarize documents, generate emails, create plans from notes, and even improve Excel analysis.
The capability to snap an image, whether it’s a medical report or a skin lesion, and converse about it, breaks down previously existent barriers. Voice interaction further smoothens this experience, creating a more human-like conversation
Some of the world’s largest consultancies have already built out proprietary enterprise large language models and are expanding and refining them. McKinsey already has employees testing out its proprietary LLM.
Tech companies are putting this deeply flawed tech in the hands of millions of people and allowing AI models access to sensitive information such as their emails, calendars, and private messages. In doing so, they are making us all vulnerable to scams, phishing, and hacks on a massive scale.
Copilot will be reading all of your files – so it can help you find what you’re looking for in OneDrive. That’s a fair tradeoff – if you don’t mind having your files read by Microsoft’s AI system.
Some early adopters of AI say we should pause giant AI experiments in any sector. And local experts say government organisations must sort the rules of engagement first before going all-in on AI and automated decision-making, especially in areas such as health and welfare…
Microsoft’s new AI Copilot for Windows 11 is now rolling out, but it’s still too slow to be something that people are actually going to want to use. I highlighted this issue when the Windows Copilot first launched in preview back in June; the AI model takes too long to process your commands or queries, to a point where it makes more sense to do the task or find the information yourself.
Nearly every major tech company has added an AI chatbot to their product offerings. But AI chatbots can make up facts. Who takes responsibility when a product gives bad advice?
What sets Bing Chat Enterprise apart is its ability to offer commercial data protection. It ensures that chat histories are not retained and that any data used during a session is not used to train the underlying large language model.
The company has licensed a private version of GPT-4 that runs on Microsoft Azure and incorporates Visa’s internal data. The payments company has opened the tool to 13,000 employees since February with guidelines on using it and the underlying data. It aims to roll it out to the rest of its workforce by year-end.
This approach allows businesses to introduce the chatbot to a select group of users initially, gather feedback, and then expand its availability. As Microsoft mentioned, “To address this customer request, a Bing Chat Enterprise Service Plan can now choose to roll out Bing Chat Enterprise to a subset of users before deploying across the organization.”
Prompt injection attacks fall into two categories—direct and indirect. And it’s the latter that’s causing most concern amongst security experts. When using a LLM, people ask questions or provide instructions in prompts that the system then answers
This helpful guide from Analytics Insight shows you how to activate ‘incognito mode’ in ChatGPT
Microsoft’s AI-powered Copilots are changing the way we work, making customers more efficient while unlocking new levels of creativity. While these transformative tools open doors to new possibilities, they are also raising new questions. Some customers are concerned about the risk of IP infringement claims if they use the output produced by generative AI. This is understandable, given recent public inquiries by authors and artists regarding how their own work is being used in conjunction with AI models and services.
To address this customer concern, Microsoft is announcing our new Copilot Copyright Commitment. As customers ask whether they can use Microsoft’s Copilot services and the output they generate without worrying about copyright claims, we are providing a straightforward answer: yes, you can, and if you are challenged on copyright grounds, we will assume responsibility for the potential legal risks involved.
This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments. Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft’s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products.
Businesses at the enterprise level are also looking for ways AI can leverage the massive amounts of data generated daily by their organizations in increasingly productive ways.
Walmart said its new “My Assistant” feature can help with a range of tasks, from summarizing long documents to assisting in the creation of new content.
This article from The Register analyses why organisations may want to buy into ChatGPT Enterprise – OpenAI’s competitive offering to Bing Chat Enterprise. Both products, perhaps entirely coincidentally, announced on Monday 28 August.
