The New Normal: Generative AI
Generative AI, like that of Bing’s new chat experience, has been making waves in the digital space. It brings the power of unique content generation and contextual interaction to our fingertips. But with the entry of Copilot into Microsoft’s business applications suite, namely Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power Platform, we are about to witness a shift – one where AI seamlessly integrates with our daily business processes and becomes an intrinsic part of our operations.
Copilot: Not Just Another AI
At its core, Copilot shares similarities with ChatGPT, both being large language models. Yet, when it comes to catering to businesses, Copilot takes the lead with its enterprise-centric focus. Here’s what sets it apart:
Context is King: Whether it’s drafting an email or setting up a specific automated task, Copilot does so with a deep understanding of the business context, driven by the specific data of your enterprise.
A Fusion of Power: Copilot is not just driven by its LLM capabilities. It integrates with your business data to produce more tailored results. It’s crucial to note that while it uses this data for context, it doesn’t learn from it, ensuring data privacy.
Security at its Core: Powered by Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service, Copilot is built on a foundation that prioritizes security, compliance, and privacy, making it a fit for the enterprise world.
Under the Hood: How Copilot Operates
Dynamics 365 and Power Platform, powered by Copilot, utilize foundational models alongside Microsoft’s proprietary technologies. Here’s a brief on its working:
Seek and You Shall Find: Copilot employs search capabilities like Bing and Microsoft Azure Cognitive Search, pulling domain-specific context, which is then fine-tuned by other services before generating a response.
Integration at its Best: Copilot deeply integrates with various Microsoft applications and the data stored in Microsoft Dataverse. This integration allows it to pull real-time information and context for generating relevant responses.
The Power of Grounding: Before generating a response, Copilot processes the user’s prompt through grounding. This step ensures that the responses are honed to be actionable and specific to the user’s needs.
Post-Processing: Once the initial response is generated, Copilot post-processes it. This step ensures compliance with responsible AI protocols, security checks, and other necessary validations.
Safety First: Your Data and Your Copilot
With Copilot’s deep integration into business processes, it’s only natural to wonder about data privacy. But rest assured, Copilot has been designed with security and privacy at its heart:
Your Data, Your Rules: While Copilot pulls context from your data, it doesn’t use it for training purposes. Your data remains yours, and the models are not enhanced based on your specific data usage.
Transparency in Responses: While Copilot aims for factual accuracy, users are always encouraged to review and verify AI-generated outputs. With cited sources and clear guidelines on responsible usage, Copilot ensures users are well-equipped to make informed decisions.
Guarding the Fort: Copilot's Security Mechanism
At the heart of Microsoft’s advancements lies a commitment to responsible AI. We believe in creating technology that is fair, reliable, inclusive, transparent, and accountable. With Copilot, businesses can be confident that they are not just adopting cutting-edge technology but doing so responsibly.
Being a part of the Azure ecosystem, Copilot is aligned with Azure’s compliance mechanisms. As the regulatory landscape around AI evolves, Microsoft is poised to adapt, ensuring businesses stay compliant at all times. Since it is built with Microsoft’s extensive approach to security in mind, Copilot is designed to protect at all levels:
Enterprise-Level Security: From two-factor authentication to compliance boundaries, Copilot ensures that business data remains secure.
Designed to Evolve: Beyond its foundational capabilities, Copilot is continuously learning. As it evolves, it will be able to undertake even more sophisticated tasks, further enhancing business processes
The integration of next-gen AI, as seen with Copilot, promises a future where AI becomes an intrinsic part of business operations. As AI continues to evolve, the boundary between technology and daily operations will blur, leading to a more efficient and enhanced business landscape.
