'Bing Chat Enterprise' Is A More Secure AI-Powered Bing Chat For Businesses That Won't Leak Data

The AI world is getting more and more crowded, because more and more people are starting to take notice.

In particular, after the hype of generative AIs, spearheaded by OpenAI when it introduced ChatGPT, more businesses and companies are realizing the benefits of using the machine-learning model to aid the processes of their workflow.

And Microsoft, as the main backer of OpenAI, has what it calls the Bing Chat AI, a chatbot that is more or less, a tweaked version of ChatGPT.

This time, Microsoft is going even bigger with AI, when it introduced what it calls the 'Bing Chat Enterprise'.

Microsoft touts this as a more secure version of its AI-powered Bing, created specifically for businesses.

Microsoft promises a more secure version of its AI-powered Bing, designed to ensure that professionals can safely share potentially sensitive information with a chatbot.

Microsoft announced this during Microsoft Inspire, a conference held annually by Microsoft Corporation for its partner community.

Microsoft knows how an increasing number of people are worried about using the AI, after many of them realize the nature of generative AIs that cannot be trusted.

There were instances of generative AI chatbots that blurted out sensitive information from other users, as a result of the AIs being trained and retrained with user interactions.

With Bing Chat Enterprise on the other hand, user’s chat data will not be saved, and will not be sent to Microsoft’s servers, nor will it be used to train the AI models, according to the company.

"What this [update] means is your data doesn’t leak outside the organization," explained Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft’s vice president and consumer chief marketing officer.

To ensure the security, Microsoft said that whatever data comes in, or out, will be protected with commercial data protection.

The only people that will have access to that enterprise data is the businesses itself, not even Microsoft will have access to it.

"We don’t co-mingle your data with web data, and we don’t save it without your permission. So no data gets saved on the servers, and we don’t use any of your data chats to train the AI models."

And more importantly, Microsoft noted that Bing Chat Enterprise will not use enterprise data as a training model for future responses.

With these changes, Microsoft, which uses OpenAI’s technology to power its Bing chat tool, said that workers can have "complete confidence" over their data.

Microsoft is rolling out Bing Chat Enterprise to Microsoft 365 E3, E5, Business Standard and Business Premium, at no additional cost.

To access the tool, paying subscribers must sign in to Bing with their work credentials and the system will automatically detect the account and put it into a protected mode, according to Microsoft.

Above the 'ask me anything' bar reads, Microsoft will say that "Your personal and company data are protected in this chat."

By making it free for paying Microsoft 365 subscribers, Microsoft wants to people to use it to rethink AI chatbots for workspace.

Another thing Microsoft announced, is users' ability to search visually with Bing Chat.

According to Microsoft, users can use Visual Search in Bing Chat, which relies on GPT-4's model, to give users the ability to quickly load a picture into and ask the AI chatbot about it.

This shows that Microsoft is getting ever more serious with AI, and how Microsoft is starting to eyeing on making huge money from paying users.

Since realizing the potential of the technology, Microsoft has been pushing forward, hard and fast.

The company has since raced to develop and deploy a range of AI-powered tools for consumers and professionals amid widespread investor enthusiasm for the new technology, and implement the technologies to its various products.

Microsoft isn't going to slow down anytime soon.

While rivals, as well as researchers have been criticizing Microsoft's move, in business perspective, Microsoft is winning big.

During its financial report, it's said that Microsoft's stock price has rose around 1,000% since Satya Nadella took the helm as its CEO.
