Control use of Generative AI features for users (preview)

[This article is prerelease documentation and is subject to change.]

As an administrator, you can choose to disable Generative AI features for your website users. This setting allows you to control which websites can have AI powered experiences for their users.

Important

  • This is a preview feature.
  • Preview features aren’t meant for production use and might have restricted functionality. These features are subject to supplemental terms of use, and are available before an official release so that customers can get early access and provide feedback.
  • This feature is being gradually rolled out across regions and may not be available yet in your region.
  • The following AI-powered experiences are governed separately and are not covered by this control:

AI-enabled experiences supported in websites

The following AI powered experiences are supported in Power Pages websites today, which simplify and enhance the user experience for your website visitors:

Intelligent forms

Simplify the form filling experience for users by extracting relevant information from attachments and automatically filling fields. This feature also allows users to rewrite their multi-line text inputs using AI draft assistance. Learn more at Enable AI form fill assistance on a form (preview).

List summary

Allows users to get an AI generated summary of a list (table) that is on the site. Learn more about list summary at Add AI summary list.

Search summarization

Power Pages Site Search with Generative AI provides site users with summarized responses to their natural language queries. It also uses a semantic search approach instead of traditional keyword-based methods, providing more relevant and contextualized results. Learn more about search summarization at Power Pages search with generative AI (preview).

Summarization API

Power Pages summarization API lets users get an AI generated summary of the content in the page. This API is built on top of the Power Pages Web API that provides data summarization on Dataverse tables used in the pages. Learn more about the Summarization API at Data summarization API.

Site copilot

Power Pages site copilot can provide quick and efficient customer support to your site's visitors and users, which can improve your site's overall user experience. Learn more about Site copilot at Add a copilot to your Power Pages site.

Maker experience

Once an admin completes the steps in the previous section, users are blocked from using AI experiences based on the admin's choice.

For existing sites, makers can enable AI-powered experiences. However, if the admin blocks these features, Design Studio shows a banner error message. This message tells the makers that an organizational policy is blocking the generative AI features.

User experience

When generative AI experiences are blocked in a site for users, they fall back to the standard experience. For example, users see a regular search and don't get a generative AI powered search summary. Users don't see any messaging about organizational policies or governance controls.
