Azure Cognitive Search AMA: Vector search, Azure OpenAI Service, generative apps, plugins & more

Hi Harald - please take a look at this link for more details on data, privacy, and security with the Azure OpenAI Service.

Unlike the ChatGPT website, data that is sent to the Azure OpenAI API endpoints is not (by default) used for Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) and as such does not get added back to the GPT foundational models.

To use Azure OpenAI, you first need to create that resource within the Cognitive Services blade along with selecting the region. Data processed in that region meets the same regulatory requirements as other services within that region. Beyond this scaffolding, it's up to the resource owners to build services that meet applicable regulatory requirements. Azure also provides the same type of logs for Azure OpenAI as it does other services which leverage Azure Monitor.
