With the emergence and widespread availability of public generative AI tools (GPT-4, ChatGPT, AlphaCode, GitHub Copilot, Bard, DALL-E 2, to name a few), many members of the Auburn University community are eager to explore their use in the university context. Example uses include student academic work, faculty research, admissions, employee recruitment, etc.

Although AI tools have the ability to enhance such efforts, they also have the ability to cause harm if used improperly. The Office of Information Technology, AUM Information Techology Services, the Office of the General Counsel, and the Office of Audit, Compliance & Privacy have developed advisory guidance to help users identify and mitigate risks associated with the use of AI tools.
