Using other AI services
Confidential or sensitive information (including, for example, IP) belonging to the University or any third party should not be put into AI tools
Microsoft Copilot Chat is the only AI service that the University has currently assessed as having sufficient security controls for processing University data. There are many other AI bots in use for meeting transcriptions and summaries. These may not have sufficient security controls and should be uninstalled.
AI tools are also not recommended for use in confidential meetings such as grievance, disciplinary or student conduct meetings, or in meetings discussing special category data, legal, compliance or regulatory matters.
