Azure AIP vs SharePoint and Exchange Online IRM
The problem between AIP and IRM protected Libraries is that IRM applies encryption on download, no matter what the content is. These IRM libraries don't expect uploaded content to be protected in advance.
But AIP & SharePoint integration is getting tighter day after day. In this Ignite session you can see the recent progress and roadmap for new features, like scanning and protecting content automatically on any SPO, Exchange online, ODfB locations. Around minute 43 of the video, you can see SharePoint integration, and AIP protected Word document being edited in Word online.
