Generative AI

Generative AI services can be grouped into the following categories, each with their own unique considerations and potential risks.

Free

Free consumer services consumed as individual user subscription. Standard terms and conditions and acceptable use policies. All data should be considered as publicly shared and used to train the models. Examples include free versions of OpenAI ChatGPT, OpenAI DALL-E, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, Claude, and Google Gemini.

Paid Consumer

Purchased as an individual user subscription, not supplied by the NU System. Standard terms and conditions and acceptable use policies. May include data protection, but may still use your data to train the models. Examples include paid subscriptions for OpenAI ChatGPT, OpenAI DALL-E, Microsoft Copilot Pro, Perplexity, Claude, and Google Gemini.

Enterprise

Services purchased through a campus or system agreement. Negotiated terms and conditions and acceptable use policies to comply with NU System requirements. Include data protection. Examples include Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft Copilot for 365, Zoom AI Companion, and OpenAI ChatGPT Enterprise.

Custom

Custom developed generative AI chatbots and services. Benefits, risks, and controls are unique to each custom configuration. Examples include OpenAI Custom GPTs, Microsoft Copilot Studio, Azure AI, AWS AI, and Llama.

AI @ NU

What tools are available to you?​

Based on existing enterprise services offered at the University of Nebraska, NU ITS has activated the following AI features for all students, faculty, and staff at no additional cost. Check back regularly as new AI-related services become more broadly available.

Copilot Chat

An everyday AI companion, powered by GPT-4o and Bing Search.  The version included with our Microsoft 365 A5 licenses at UNK, UNL, UNO and NUOP includes Enterprise Data Protection, ensuring that any data input stays within the bounds of our Microsoft 365 tenant and is not used to train the public models.  Copilot Chat has no access to your Microsoft Graph data (Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, etc.) and will only use publicly available information on the web and information given in prompts.  Users at UNK, UNL, UNO and NUOP will gain access to Copilot Chat as their Microsoft accounts are transitioned as part of the Future Ready Cloud Collaboration Workspace project.

Zoom AI Companion

Zoom AI Companion brings AI-powered post-meeting summaries, making virtual meetings more accessible and efficient across all devices. Faculty and staff can activate this service for meetings they host on their NU System Zoom account. Zoom Meeting Summary is available on a meeting-by-meeting basis if enabled by the meeting organizer. Zoom AI Companion is also being piloted at specific campuses.

We are regularly updating our NU ITS webpage that lists available AI information.
