Mega-Trend AI and the Media Hype

The artificial intelligence (AI) mega-trend is omnipresent and the hype in the media is enormous. People are already using ChatGPT and similar AI technologies in their private lives, but companies are often still reluctant to use them. IT departments are under great pressure to use these technologies effectively.

Safety First: Focus on Data Security

Companies are concerned about how AI solutions handle their sensitive data so that it does not fall into the wrong hands. Companies therefore prefer to look for solutions with a maximum focus on security and data protection.

Budget Shock for AI Solutions

AI solutions can be very expensive. Especially in times when companies are looking to cut costs, it is important to find efficient and cost-effective solutions.

AI yes, but please without false Promises

Although expectations of AI are high, they are often not met by today's solutions. Users therefore need an intuitive and streamlined solution that delivers what it promises.

Our Solution: empower® AI Assistant

Our lean empower® AI Assistant for PowerPoint, Outlook and Word offers maximum data security. It supports companies in mastering the challenges mentioned and using AI effectively.

A Slide Library Built for Growth and Efficiency

The best alternative to the Microsoft SharePoint slide library

SharePoint is often used for slide management in companies. However, with SharePoint 2013, Microsoft abolished the slide library component because of poor customer adoption. SharePoint’s slide library integrated clumsily with the slide library in PowerPoint, its search was insufficient search, and it was unstable. The slide library of empower® solves all those problems. It completely replaces your SharePoint slide library and offers further advantages for you.

Efficient slide library without SharePoint

Make all your PowerPoint content available to the entire company in the empower® slide library. Share existing content and strengthen collaboration across the organization. Enhance your brand communication by embedding your design guidelines directly into PowerPoint. Deliver all your brand assets directly in PowerPoint. At the same time, you and your colleagues can work more productively and save time for the really important tasks.

faq-iconQuestions

We've created this website to provide you with all the information you need about the empower® AI Assistant without having to contact our sales team.

Who is legally responsible for content created by the empower® AI Assistant?

In the empower® AI Assistant, precautions have been taken to prevent, for example, the creation of content that violates copyright. However, due to the way large language models work, including the Azure OpenAI GPT model used by the empower® AI Assistant, there is no way to guarantee with absolute certainty that the generated output will meet such requirements in every single case. As with all AI models available today, it is essential to carefully check the generated outputs. Therefore, the empower® AI Assistant also requires confirmation by users in order to accept the generated outputs for further use. In principle, users are legally responsible for the content generated with the empower® AI Assistant.

Who takes responsibility for the accuracy of the AI-generated content?

There is no guarantee for correct content with any AI language model available today. It is therefore important that every employee is explicitly made aware of the need to critically review generated or modified texts. Companies should establish clear rules of conduct for the use of generated and modified texts. In the case of text modifications (e.g. text shortening, translation, etc.), the empower® AI Assistant can provide good support here, as users can directly compare the original and the result in a before-and-after shot.

How is the security architecture for the AI infrastructure designed?

The issue of security and data protection is essential, especially in a business context. That is why we rely on the extensive security measures that Microsoft has established in the Azure Cloud. All processing steps take place within the Azure Cloud. The Azure OpenAI instance used by the empower® AI Assistant is also located within the Azure Cloud.

How can users be prevented from creating false or even reputation-damaging content with the empower® AI Assistant?

There are several safeguards in place at various points in the processing chain when using artificial intelligence with the empower® AI Assistant to help ensure that no false, reputation-damaging or otherwise inappropriate content is generated. For example, the AI model itself has been designed with safeguards that make it very unlikely that inappropriate content will be generated (even if an attempt is made to deliberately induce it). In addition, a "content filter" is interposed, which examines the generated output fully automatically and blocks it if inappropriate content is detected.

In the end, however, users are always responsible for ensuring that the content generated is correct and appropriate for further use.

Isn't creating prompts far too complicated for my employees?

AI models such as OpenAI/ChatGPT (which is also used by empower®) aim to enable users to complete tasks faster and better by using their natural language. Usually, the use of an AI assistant such as empower® starts with preconfigured prompts (e.g. for "Improve this text" or "Translate this text into English", etc.), which in most cases already enable significant improvements to be made to content.

The empower® AI Assistant makes the use of prompts even easier by offering an expandable selection of prompts directly. Of course, employees also have the opportunity to further develop their digital communication skills using artificial intelligence (so-called "AI Prompt Crafting"). We at empower® believe that these skills will be crucial in the future and that further training measures in this area should therefore be started at an early stage. We would be happy to support your company with appropriate training. Just get in touch with us.

Are there any trainings or resources from empower for our employees to safely use the empower® AI Assistant?

Yes, empower offers training and resources to support employees in using the AI Assistant safely. The aim is to raise awareness of potential risks and strengthen users' skills in dealing with AI. After the training sessions, your employees will receive prepared supporting material as well as the recording of the training so that they have the best possible support when taking their first steps with the empower® AI Assistant.

Can the empower® AI Assistant be restricted to certain subject areas or tasks?

The purpose of generative artificial intelligence or large language models (LLMs) is to use natural language to solve (complex) problems. Limiting this approach to certain subject areas or functions makes no sense by definition, as it would run counter to the basic idea behind this technology. We therefore firmly believe in following pioneers in the field of artificial intelligence such as Microsoft, Google and others and do not restrict the empower® AI Assistant to certain functionalities or subject areas.

Does the empower® AI Assistant work in compliance with GDPR and is it safe to use?

Yes, using the empower® AI Assistant is secure and GDPR-compliant. The empower® AI Assistant uses the Azure OpenAI services from Microsoft. Microsoft guarantees compliance with the GDPR for all generally available enterprise software products. Furthermore, Microsoft guarantees that no data transmitted by the user will be stored on the server, forwarded to third parties (including Open AI) or used for training these language models. State-of-the-art encryption protocols and robust data protection measures are used to protect your sensitive information at every step. For more information on the security policies at empower GmbH, including our ISO certification, please visit our security overview. Microsoft itself has a large number of IT security certifications.
