Why Enterprises Are Wary of Cloud AI

In recent years, global enterprises such as Samsung, Apple, and JP Morgan have banned the use of cloud-based generative AI tools like ChatGPT. The reason is simple: the structural risk of sensitive internal data being exposed externally. When company information is processed or stored on third-party servers, it creates vulnerabilities for unintended data leaks, legal liability, and potential security breaches.

For industries such as law, pharmaceuticals, and IT — where information security and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable — the risks of cloud AI outweigh its convenience. Today, enterprises must prioritize how securely they manage data and maintain trust with customers and regulators, not just technological efficiency. Within this context, local AI has emerged as a strategic necessity, not just a passing trend.

Structural Limitations of Cloud AI

Cloud AI works by transmitting user data to external servers for processing. This creates multiple challenges:

• Loss of Data Control

• Security Vulnerabilities

• Compliance Gaps

• Lack of Governance Transparency

How Local AI Provides the Answer

The alternative is Local AI. Wissly leads this approach as a local-first document search and generative AI solution, offering critical advantages:

1. Complete Data Control

• No external transmission of documents or data — all processing stays inside your infrastructure.

• Inference and generation occur on-premise or within your secure corporate network.

• IT retains full control of backup, deletion, and access rights under internal policies.

2. RAG-Powered Secure AI

• Wissly uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), which grounds answers in internal documents instead of relying solely on model training.

• RAG reduces hallucinations and improves contextual accuracy.

• Sensitive data exposure is minimized while ensuring trustworthy, evidence-based responses.

3. Compliance and Audit Readiness

• Supports Zero Data Retention — data is discarded immediately after use.

• Designed with global compliance frameworks in mind, including GDPR, HIPAA, and local data protection laws.

• Maintains detailed logs of prompts, AI responses, and user activity for internal audit and reporting.

4. Productivity and Customization

• Real-time, low-latency responses within your local network.

• Custom departmental agents for legal, R&D, finance, or compliance workflows.

• Fine-tuned prompts trained on company-specific terminology, processes, and policies.

• Adjustable security, answer style, and tone — enabling a true “enterprise AI” tailored to your needs.
