AI Tools with Enterprise Protections for Faculty, Students, and Staff

Before diving in to exploring AI, it's important to find the right tool for the right job. 

Note: The list below is not exhaustive. Some tools may not be available to all faculty and staff. For information on other available generative AI tools, contact universityinnovation@Âé¶¹AV.edu.

Text-Based Tools

Text-based generative AI tools, including Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini, take a written prompt and produce a response in natural language. They write and edit text, generate code, translate between languages, and answer questions in a conversational exchange.

Both tools operate under Âé¶¹AV's enterprise agreements, which keep entered data out of the vendors' training sets and away from other users, so only Public data and information that has been appropriately de-identified should go into either tool. See LU's Data Classification standard (15.01.02) for what qualifies at each level.
