However, the terminologies used do not all answer the same question, which is:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Where is your enterprise data really being processed? Who manages the infrastructure processing your enterprise data via AI inferences?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For instance, take Microsoft Copilot.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/copilot\/microsoft-365-copilot-architecture?utm\">While Microsoft Copilot is described to work inside the service boundary of Microsoft 365 and process organizational data based on existing permissions, the service boundary managed by Microsoft is not equivalent to exclusively customer-controlled infrastructure.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That means:<\/p>\n<p><b>Microsoft 365 Service Boundary \u2260 <a href=\"https:\/\/newfangled.io\/\">Customer-Controlled Infrastructure<\/a><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That could be significant if the policy of the organization required AI processing to occur within infrastructure controlled by it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, if an organization does not have such a policy, cloud AI infrastructure provided by the provider can be fully consistent with its security and privacy policies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thus, before choosing whether the chosen AI system can meet the needs of your organization, it is reasonable to start with understanding what these words mean.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Let us consider the example of Microsoft Copilot and see the whole path of the data from entering a prompt to retrieving enterprise data, AI processing, and generating the response.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"fyx1zc\" data-start=\"1764\" data-end=\"1798\"><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_an_AI_Service_Boundary\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/compliance\/anz\/blueprint-copilot-servicecom?\">What Is an AI Service Boundary?<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Before we can learn where data is processed by enterprises, we must first understand what AI service boundaries mean.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Service boundary is defined as the environment wherein the service operates along with the components that it delivers through the service provider. It may have relevance in issues relating to security, privacy, compliance, and data residency.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>According to Microsoft, the AI service Copilot operates in the Microsoft 365 service boundary. Also, according to Microsoft, the AI service Copilot is a shared Microsoft 365 service running in the managed cloud architecture of Microsoft.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The critical difference here is that the term service boundary refers to the service environment; it does not imply automatically the exclusive control of the infrastructure underlying it by the client.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thus, we have two different definitions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Service boundary: The specified space in which the service provider runs the AI service.<\/li>\n<li>Customer-controlled infrastructure: The infrastructure controlled solely by the organization using the AI service.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They are not necessarily identical. In order to understand why, we need to trace the process of processing enterprise data with AI.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1rqw68q\" data-start=\"3010\" data-end=\"3063\"><\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-section-id=\"1rqw68q\" data-start=\"3010\" data-end=\"3063\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Happens_When_You_Use_AI_With_Enterprise_Data\"><\/span>What Happens When You Use AI With Enterprise Data?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When a user prompts an enterprise AI assistant with a query, the system may require some relevant organizational data to generate a meaningful answer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft outlines the way in which organizational data can be accessed via <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/copilot\/microsoft-365-copilot-architecture?\">Microsoft Graph<\/a> and only with the permission granted to the user.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In brief, the data flow can be represented this way:<\/p>\n<p>User Prompt \u2192 Relevant Organizational Data \u2192 AI Processing \u2192 Answer<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And the relevant data is then used to <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/copilot\/microsoft-365-copilot-architecture?\">anchor the AI-generated answer.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For example, when the end-user raises a query to the enterprise AI assistant about any document, the enterprise AI assistant can seek data that is available to the user.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_Does_AI_Process_Enterprise_Data\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/copilot\/microsoft-365-copilot-architecture?\">Where Does AI Process Enterprise Data?<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once an employee enters a prompt into the enterprise AI system, it starts searching for information associated with that prompt from all available sources such as emails, documents, files, or other applications. Using the collected data, the AI system gives its answer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This process is known as AI inference. In general, inference is the process of getting some output from the system based on the prompt and enterprise data.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The process can be illustrated in the following simplified way:<\/p>\n<p>Prompt \u2192 Data Retrieval &amp; Grounding \u2192 AI Model Processing \u2192 Response<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to Microsoft Copilot, according to Microsoft, inference happens inside Microsoft-managed cloud infrastructure. It means that, in addition to data available to the AI system, we should care about the location of the AI inference itself.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Security_and_Infrastructure_Control_Are_Different\"><\/span>Security and Infrastructure Control Are Different<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The differentiation does not imply that there are no security controls on provider-managed AI services. For enterprise AI services, there can be access controls, encryption, tenant isolation, compliance controls, and other types of security and privacy controls.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/copilot\/microsoft-365-copilot-architecture-data-protection-auditing?\">For instance, for Microsoft&#8217;s Copilot, the access controls depend on the permissions of the user to see information within the organization. Thus, when using Copilot, no one gets access to information that they would not have been able to see without it.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, it should be noted that security controls and infrastructure controls relate to different components of AI architecture. Security controls establish the way of securing data and access to it. The infrastructure control establishes who is responsible for the environment of AI processing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In that way, an organization can have high-level security and privacy controls, but still use provider-managed AI infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is important for those organizations that have strict infrastructure control requirements.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_the_Enterprise_AI_Data_Journey\"><\/span>Understanding the Enterprise AI Data Journey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Using enterprise data with an AI platform usually consists of three main steps \u2013 retrieval, AI processing, and response creation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>First, the platform obtains the data to which the user is allowed to have access.

The architecture of the system dictates the process involved in retrieving and processing enterprise information to give an AI-based response.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Microsoft Copilot case study shows the significance of understanding the difference between a service boundary and the infrastructure involved in making the AI inference.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The service boundary identifies where the organization consumes its services, whereas the infrastructure control is about who controls the infrastructure for AI inference.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The difference becomes more important for an enterprise especially if enterprise guidelines have certain stipulations on issues such as data residency, data mobility, or infrastructure control.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In summary, the most important thing is for organizations to analyze artificial intelligence not only from the perspective of what it does but also from the perspective of how it processes data for the company and what infrastructure it uses.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_5521\" class=\"pvc_stats total_only  \" data-element-id=\"5521\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/newfangled.io\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction : &nbsp; For Organizations that have very strict zero data egress, data residency, or customer controlled infrastructure requirements, selecting an enterprise AI solution means going beyond just \u201csecure.\u201d &nbsp; While different vendors use different terminology for describing how their services handle enterprise data, such as service boundary, data security, tenant isolation, encryption, privacy, no [&hellip;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_5521\" class=\"pvc_stats total_only  \" data-element-id=\"5521\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/newfangled.io\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[210,151],"tags":[205,209,208,204,206,153,203,207],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Enterprise AI: Where Is Your Data Actually Processed?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Where is enterprise data processed when using AI?
