Review: Agent reviewedConfidence92%Evidence1Languagesen

security_review

CDU staff may use generative AI tools for legitimate work purposes, but must not enter confidential, sensitive, or personally identifiable University information unless it is appropriately de-identified or redacted; tools with unclear hosting, ownership, or data handling must not be used with University information.
