AI tools for Research

This guide includes information and suggested Generative AI tools to bolster your research productivity. Generative AI is one type of artificial intelligence (AI) system that generates text, images, and other media in response to user prompts.

Keeping Data Safe

As you engage with AI tools, it’s essential to understand the privacy implications. Many generative AI platforms collect content and prompts you submit, which can be integrated into their training datasets and potentially shared with other users. These platforms often have policies stating that data is automatically collected to improve their algorithms and products, including text, graphics, and audio.

It’s also important to note that privacy policies can change at any time. Regularly checking the data privacy policy of any AI tool you use will help you stay informed about how your data is collected, used, and stored.

As a best practice, avoid sharing any sensitive, personal, or confidential information when using these tools. Being proactive about your privacy can help ensure a safer experience in your academic endeavors.
