Utah State University has a variety of AI tools available for faculty, staff, and students to utilize.
Copilot provides AI chat for the web with access to modern models at no additional cost. Commercial data protection will be enabled when eligible users are signed in with their school account. This means user and organizational data are protected, chat prompts and responses in Copilot are not saved, Microsoft has no eyes-on access to them, and they aren’t used to train the underlying large language models.
More information is available from Microsoft.
The Zoom AI Companion creates automatic meeting summaries and lets participants ask the AI questions about the meeting. It can also supplement recordings and whiteboard content creation. To enable the Zoom AI Companion, update to the latest version of Zoom, login to your USU Zoom account and configure your preferences in the AI companion tab of your Zoom Settings.
More information is available from Zoom.
Box AI is available via the box.usu.edu website interface. It allows you to extract insights, analyze content, and maintain security of any set of documents stored in box without needing to download and reupload to another AI tool. Free to use, secure, and no usage limitations.
