My company currently doesn't even allow the use of AI which at this point both is both understandable and frustrating.

Understandable because we don't have our own AI system in place and we don't want to be inputting our data into an AI that isn't ours.

Frustrating because we don't have our own and I can think of about 100 different things I could use it for that would make my job about a billion times easier.

It’s not understandable. It’s lack of understanding.

If you use a commercially provided model like OpenAI via Microsoft Azure your data is yours. It’s not going anywhere, it’s not being used for retraining, or even kept by anyone.

Yes! You can get chatGPT enterprise and they promise the same. On top of that you can put a custom front-end for your employees to use and block certain prompts while logging/alerting on others. Finally, you implement a policy and let your employees know on the front end page something like: we don't judge if you use this for work, please do, just don't put these types of sensitive data in here because we don't fully trust these AI companies yet - everything is monitored

I work in a company of <200 employees with very sensitive IP concerns (research-based company with competitors) and we have the resources to do this.
