Hi @Jeetendra Bansal

Greetings & Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum! Thanks for posting your query!

As I understand that you are looking for an option to block AI chatbots (such as AI assistants embedded in applications like Adobe or WhatsApp). Specifically, you want to restrict their ability to upload or paste data, likely to prevent sensitive information from being shared unintentionally.

Key Points to Address:

Microsoft Purview - A robust tool for data governance, compliance, and protection that helps organizations manage sensitive data effectively.

Limitations - While Purview cannot directly disable AI chatbots, it can enforce restrictions to prevent sensitive data from being uploaded, pasted, or shared through these features.

How Microsoft Purview Can Help:

Implement Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Policies:

Prevent Data Sharing - Use DLP policies to restrict the copying, pasting, or uploading of sensitive data into applications like Adobe or WhatsApp.

Target Sensitive Data Types - Configure policies to block specific types of sensitive data, such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII), financial data, or classified documents.

Endpoint DLP - Extend DLP policies to endpoints to monitor activities across installed applications, ensuring compliance even outside of cloud environments.

For more details, please refer the following Microsoft documentations, as they might offer some insights that could help you address your question.
