Recent findings show that 77% of workers disclose confidential business information via ChatGPT and other cloud AI platforms, posing significant security and compliance challenges. Given Microsoft Word’s status as a widely used word processor, it’s not surprising that some workers might transfer sensitive information to these external AI services by copying and pasting. In light of these concerns, organizations are increasingly turning to on-premise Large Language Models (LLMs) to safeguard sensitive data and ensure regulatory compliance. By hosting LLMs internally, businesses can exert greater control over their information environments, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or data breaches associated with external cloud services.
For legal professionals, the implications of these findings are particularly significant. Addressing security concerns, they now have an effective solution available: the IBM Granite 4 series models for contract analysis seamlessly integrated into Microsoft Word. This integration is enabled through a local Word Add-in named LocPilot, which brings local LLMs to Microsoft Word. With LocPilot, your team can run powerful LLMs directly on their computers or an Intranet server — eliminating the need for cloud services and monthly fees while ensuring complete privacy. You can effortlessly switch between models and work more efficiently, all within a local environment.
