Ai Tool Treatment
Original evidence
Evidence 1Approved and Restricted AI Tools If a proposed tool or use case isn't listed on this table, the next step depends on whether the tool requires payment for use. For paid tools, individuals should submit a request through the Service Now Procurement Intake. For free tools, if a researcher or staff member intends to use a generative AI tool with sensitive data, or in research contexts, please complete the Generative AI Tool Evaluation Form.
Privacy
Original evidence
Evidence 1The use of confidential data with publicly available generative AI tools is prohibited without prior security and privacy review. This includes personally identifiable employee data, FERPA-covered student data, HIPAA-covered patient data, and may include research that is not yet publicly available.
Privacy
Original evidence
Evidence 1Generative AI systems, applications, and software products that process, analyze, or move confidential data require a security review before they are acquired, even if the software is free.
Privacy
Original evidence
Evidence 1Data Use Restrictions: Use of University data by vendors to train or improve their models is not permitted.
Privacy
Original evidence
Evidence 1Confidential data, sensitive data, or restricted data should not be used with generative AI tools unless the tool and the use have been reviewed and approved through the appropriate University process.
Ai Tool Treatment
Original evidence
Evidence 1Please note: even when a tool is listed as approved, it is not risk-free. Approval simply means the tool can be used under specific conditions, but not that all data is safe to enter. Users are still responsible for evaluating the sensitivity of their data, understanding vendor limitations, and ensuring that confidential, regulated, or contract-restricted information is not shared with AI tools unless explicitly allowed.

Privacy
Original evidence
Evidence 1AI-generated content may be misleading or inaccurate. Generative AI technology may create citations to content that does not exist. Responses from generative AI tools may contain content and materials from other authors and may be copyrighted. It is the responsibility of the tool user to review the accuracy and ownership of any AI-generated content.
Privacy
Original evidence
Evidence 1Getting an exception through a Risk Acceptance Letter (RAL): If the proposed use is not prohibited by compliance regulations but exceeds standard risk tolerance, and the requester still wishes to proceed with the purchase, the request is escalated to senior leadership—the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and Chief Technology Officer (CTO), and the Chief Privacy Officer (CPO)—for guidance.
Ai Tool Treatment
Original evidence
Evidence 1Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is a quickly evolving technology that offers capabilities to enhance teaching and learning, research, and administrative work at the University of Chicago. We want to provide the UChicago community with information on the latest tools integrating generative AI, as well as training, resources, and guidance.
Privacy
Original evidence
Evidence 1Business Conduct Policy: Staff must act with honesty and integrity, safeguard confidential information, and prevent unauthorized disclosures. Prohibits recording conversations without consent. AI transcription/assistant tools may not be used to secretly record or join meetings.
Privacy
Original evidence
Evidence 1Policy on Harassment, Discrimination, and Sexual Misconduct: Prohibits unlawful harassment, discrimination, and sexual misconduct. AI tools may not be used to generate harassing, discriminatory, or otherwise unlawful content. This includes the use of AI to create or alter images, audio, and videos.
Privacy
Original evidence
Evidence 1Entering sensitive data into AI tools without review and approval by security, privacy, and the appropriate data steward may create an unauthorized data disclosure. Such disclosures may violate University policy, federal and state law, sponsor or contract obligations, and data use agreements.
