Many companies are integrating AI into their apps. The Adobe suite of apps is no exception with Adobe AI Assistant. Adobe Acrobat is a widely used PDF tool for viewing and editing pdf files. It is important to understand how Adobe’s AI handles user data.
The key takeaways are:
- Customer data is not used to train or fine-tune AI Large Language Models. Also, the user must manually click the AI Assistant or generative summary buttons before they can be used. The AI Assistant is not automatically in use.
- AI responses use info only from the document you open or explicitly select. It does not search your company’s file systems, email, or other repositories, or the public internet for answers
- The AI Assistant clearly cites its sources. It is important to verify sources used when AI generates an answer. It is the users responsibility to confirm a source is relevant and factually correct.
- Chat history remains in the user’s control for deletion or continued use. On the desktop and mobile versions of Acrobat, chat history is stored on the user’s device.
- Automatic deletion of documents, prompts, and responses after 12 hours. Except for retained chat history and any content a user reports, all information shared with the AI Assistant will be deleted from Adobe cloud after 12 hours.
- Responses from the AI Assistant are not shared with others. All responses generated by the AI Assistant are individual use only, even if interacting with shared documents online.
- Generative AI features can be disabled at any time. The generative AI can be turned off whenever the user wishes by accessing the setting from Preferences. Walkthrough information can be found on Adobe’s website: Turn off AI
