Right Tool. Better Results.

AI That Fits Your Needs

 

AI tools can help you save time, improve productivity, and support your daily work. As you explore the available options, it's important to choose the right tool for the task and the type of data you're using. Different tools offer different capabilities, security features, and approved uses. Explore the tools available to you and learn how to choose the best fit for your work while protecting university information.

There are three categories we refer to when discussing AI tools across the NU system:

Enterprise Tools

Enterprise AI tools are paid AI solutions that are administered, owned, and operated by the Office of the President, or that the University of Nebraska System manages and makes available to the university community. These tools provide enterprise-grade security, helping ensure your interactions remain protected and are not used to train future AI models.

Paid Consumer (Non-Enterprise) Tools

Paid consumer (non-enterprise) AI tools are services that individuals purchase or access on their own, rather than through a university-approved enterprise environment. While some of these tools may offer privacy settings or state that user interactions are not used to train future models, those protections can vary and may change over time.

Free Tools

Free tools are versions of any AI service (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, etc.) that an individual creates themselves at no cost. Many free tools use user interactions to train future models by default, which may put sensitive information at risk. While some free tools offer settings to limit data use for model training, they do not provide the same security, privacy, and administrative safeguards as enterprise AI tools.

Maximize data security and functionality.

Use enterprise tools for your work.
