Microsoft Gives Companies Ability to Personalize AI Language Model in Azure
Microsoft Releases Public Preview of ‘On Your Data’
Microsoft is releasing a public preview of ‘on your data’, an Azure OpenAI Service in which companies can attach the OpenAI language models directly to their data. It does not matter where the data is located, it does not have to be in the cloud.
According to Andy Beatman, senior product marketing manager at Azure AI, companies get a language model through the service that they no longer have to tinker with themselves. “These models not only use their pre-trained knowledge, but also have access to specific data sources, so that the answers are based on the most recent information available,” he continues.
To get started, you must own an Azure OpenAI Service application and an Azure OpenAI Service resource that has either the gpt-35 turbo model or the gpt-4 model.
Chat Playground
You can link company data in the Chat Playground. Here you can choose in which location the AI language model can sniff, looking for an answer. It is possible to link the following locations: Azure Cognitive Search, Azure Blob storage and local files.
Employees can use the personalized AI language model through Azure AI studio. Otherwise you can choose to integrate it into your own applications with Python, cURL, API and SDK.
Secrets Revealed
ChatGPT also keeps track of all information from answers and questions in the Azure OpenAI service. Linking company data to the service can entail security risks. There is no guarantee that your company data will remain accessible only to your employees and is protected for the general public.
Microsoft explains in its announcement how it tries to keep the AI language model from harmful reactions and monitors for abuse by employees. There is no additional explanation on how to prevent accidental leaks of company information.
