Following the recent success of its updated and AI-poweredBingbrowser, Microsoft has announced at its annual Inspire conference that enterprise customers will finally be able to get their own, secure version of theAI writer.
Much like the closed-inOpenAIService thatMicrosoftannounced earlier this year for its US Government customers, Bing Chat Enterprise promises to protect everything that both goes in and comes out.
Bing Chat for enterprises
During the announcement, Redmond confirmed that Bing Chat Enterprise is available in preview for more than 160 million customers. It also confirmed that it is included in Microsoft 365 E3, E5, Business Standard, and Business Premium subscriptions at no extra cost.

The company also revealed it plans to launch Bing Chat Enterprise as a standalone subscription for $5 per user per month at a later date, and hopes to make Bing Chat Enterprise available from Windows Copilot in the future, though details remain sparse.
In a complementaryblog post, Microsoft has confirmed that any data inputted into thechatbotwill not be used to train its models.
At the same time, Microsoft 365 Copilot is also rolling out to commercial customers in preview format ahead of general availability, when it will be priced at $30 per user per month.
It promises all the capabilities of the regular Microsoft 365 Copilot, which has popped up in a number of apps like Excel and Word recently, but with additional security measures that see it inherit existing security, privacy, identity, and compliance policies.

According to an in-house report, seven in 10 workers say that they would delegate as much work as possible to AI, but very few actually do because of concerns about the security of sensitive company information.
