Microsoft's AI-powered chatbot service, Bing Chat, is entering the business sector. According to Microsoft, Bing Chat has been enabled for enterprise usage. The Bing Chat Enterprise version will help business owners take advantage of the powerful chatbot.

Microsoft launched Bing Chat Enterprise, a variant of Bing Chat with business-focused data privacy and governance controls, during its yearly Inspire conference. A customer's employee or business data is not visible to Microsoft while using Bing Chat Enterprise, and customer data is not used to train the underlying AI models.

"Today at Microsoft Inspire, we’re excited to unveil the next steps in our journey: First, we’re significantly expanding Bing to reach new audiences with Bing Chat Enterprise, delivering AI-powered chat for work, and rolling out today in Preview – which means that more than 160 million people already have access. Second, to help commercial customers plan, we’re sharing that Microsoft 365 Copilot will be priced at $30 per user, per month for Microsoft 365 E3, E5, Business Standard, and Business Premium customers, when broadly available; we’ll share more on timing in the coming months. Third, in addition to expanding to more audiences, we continue to build new value in Bing Chat and are announcing Visual Search in Chat, a powerful new way to search, now rolling out broadly in Bing Chat," the company said in its official announcement.

Bing Chat Enterprise won't remember user interactions

The new enterprise alternative from Microsoft is the same as the consumer version of Bing, but it won't remember user interactions, so users will have to go back and start over each time. These modifications, according to Microsoft, whose Bing chat function is powered by OpenAI's technology, provide employees "complete confidence" that their data "won't be leaked outside of the organization."

Companies have voiced worries about sensitive information getting into the hands of developers who use user data to build their models. Apple has limited the internal usage of products like OpenAI's ChatGPT and GitHub's Copilot, which is acquired by Microsoft. Samsung, Walmart, Verizon, Bank of America, JPMorgan, and others have already done the same.


ChatGPT on iOS adds support for Bing, but locks it behind a subscription


Amidst considerable investor enthusiasm for the new technology, Microsoft is rushing to build and market a variety of AI-powered tools for consumers and professionals. Microsoft added visual searches to its current Bing Chat product, which is powered by AI, on Tuesday as well. The business also disclosed that each user will pay $30 monthly for Microsoft 365 Co-pilot. This AI-powered tool helps generate, edit, summarize, and compare documents across its many products.

If a company's IT department manually activates the capability, Bing Chat Enterprise will be free for all 160 million Microsoft 365 members starting on Tuesday. However, after 30 days, Microsoft will automatically grant access to all users; subscription firms can turn off the tool if they so desire.

    Are these articles AI generated?

    Now the duplicates are more obvious.

      This is below AI generated crap. It is copy of Microsoft Help website article without any relevant supporting text. Anyway you can find this information on many pages.

    Yes, but why post the exact same article under a different title twice on the same day (19 march 2023), by two different writers?
    1.) Excel Keyboard Shortcuts by Trevor Monteiro.
    2.) 70+ Excel Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows by Priyanka Monteiro

    Why oh why?

    If it’s Microsoft, don’t buy it.
    Better brands at better prices elsewhere.

    WTF? So, If I add one photo to 5 albums, will it count 5x on my storage?
    It does not make any sense… on google photos, we can add photo to multiple albums, and it does not generate any additional space usage

    I have O365 until end of this year, mostly for onedrive and probably will jump into google one

    Photo storage must be kept free because customers chose gadgets just for photos and photos only.

    What a nonsense. Does it mean that albums are de facto folders with copies of our pictures?

      Sounds exactly like the poor coding Microsoft is known for in non-critical areas i.e. non Windows Core/Office Core.

      I imagine a manager gave an employee the task to create the album feature with hardly any time so they just copied the folder feature with some cosmetic changes.

      And now that they discovered what poor management results in do they go back and do the album feature properly?

      Nope, just charge the customer twice.

      Sounds like a go-getter that needs to be promoted for increasing sales and managing underlings “efficiently”, said the next layer of middle management.

    When will those comments get fixed? Was every editor here replaced by AI and no one even works on this site?

    Instead of a software company, Microsoft is now a fraud company.

    For me this is proof that Microsoft has a back-door option into all accounts in their cloud.
    quote “…… as the MSA key allowed the hacker group access to virtually any cloud account at Microsoft…..”
    unquote

    so this MSA key which is available to MS officers can give access to all accounts in MS cloud.This is the backdoor that MS has into the cloud accounts. Lucky I never got any relevant files of mine in their (MS) cloud.

    >”Now You: what is your theory?”

    That someone handed an employee a briefcase full of cash and the employee allowed them access to all their accounts and systems.

    Anything that requires 5-10 different coincidences to happen is highly unlikely. Occam’s razor.

    Good reason to never login to your precious machine with a Microsoft a/c a.k.a. as the cloud.

    The GAFAM are always very careless about our software automatically sending to them telemetry and crash dumps in our backs. It’s a reminder not to send them anything when it’s possible to opt out, and not to opt in, considering what they may contain. And there is irony in this carelessness biting them back, even if in that case they show that they are much more cautious when it’s their own data that is at stake.
