Review: Agent reviewedConfidence94%

Normalized value: alternatives_required_for_original_work_uploads

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Students may have privacy or intellectual property concerns about uploading their original work to a Gen-AI tool, since this will add the work to the tool’s data set.

With this tool, all prompt data remains in a UVA-specific tenant and is not shared with others or used for training of AI models. If you design an assignment that involves students uploading their original work into a Gen-AI tool, you must provide alternative ways to complete the assignment.
