AI-Powered Personally Identifiable Information Detector

The AI-Powered personally identifiable information (PII) Detector enhances security and compliance by utilizing Azure's PII Detection cognitive skill. This feature automatically scans and identifies PII within the Nerdio Manager's logs, ensuring data privacy and regulatory compliance.

The PII Detector analyzes task logs that are created after it is enabled, but no more than one week ago. If the PII Detector does not have data to analyze, it delays processing until the next iteration to optimize requests to the Azure AI services and the associated costs.

Prerequisites

Azure AI services require you to accept the Azure Responsible AI Notice. For more information on responsible use of AI with Azure AI Services, see this Microsoft article. See Azure Responsible AI Notice for information about how to accept the Responsible AI Notice and create a Computer Vision resource.
