Currently, all instances of AI are being individually vetted and require an additional review. When attempting to procure IT software that contains AI at IU, you may be required to first review Acceptable uses of generative AI services at IU, and the existing capabilities of Microsoft Copilot to determine if it will meet your needs.
IT Community Partnerships (ITCP) supports those providing local UITS support at Indiana University through timely communications of important IT information, opportunities to connect with the IT community, and data resources to aid in decision-making for their unit or service.
