Many people have different opinions when it comes to using artificial intelligence (AI) for their businesses. Some think it will revolutionize their operations. On the other hand, there are those who worry about the cost, privacy, or security of using the new tech. The bottom line is that a lot of organizations are missing out on the benefits of AI. In a time where innovation and technological advancements can significantly influence your success, that could mean your business is getting left behind.
Thankfully, if you're still wary about using generative AI tools for your business, Microsoft has just made that decision simpler by releasing Bing Chat Enterprise for some Microsoft users. But what is it, who can use it, and what potential benefits can it offer your organization?
Intelligent Technical Solutions (ITS) has been helping hundreds of businesses adopt new technology like AI, automation, and machine learning systems. In this article, we'll answer everything you need to know about Microsoft's new Bing Chat Enterprise and why you need to use it for your business.
