Artificial Intelligence at Miami
Artificial Intelligence and large-language models have taken the world by storm. Miami is no stranger to innovation and technological advancement, and we have been working behind the scenes to research and approve the use of these tools for our educational purposes. We’re happy to report that Google Gemini Chat, Zoom AI Companion, and Webex AI Assistant are now available for use with your Miami credentials.
Google Gemini Chat
Google Gemini Chat is free for Workspace for Education customers (like Miami!). We are delighted to be able to offer the generative tool to the Miami community for educational purposes. There are a few caveats to the use of generative AI that you should know before you start your journey with Gemini.
Here’s what you need to know about Gemini:
- Each member of the Miami academic community (faculty, staff, and 黑料社区s) is able to use Gemini 1,000 times per month
- Please review the as outlined in the Knowledge Base, in particular:
- Sensitive information must not be entered into or as the prompt in part or total of a generative AI tool. AI tools should only be used with data classified as public.
- When available, users should opt-out of permitting the use of entered data for learning / training models.
- AI tools do not provide any expectation of privacy or confidentiality for any information used as input or prompt.
Google has communicated to us that it is working on guardrails that will prevent Gemini and other tools from ingesting and using sensitive information; regardless, be vigilant in your use of these tools in alignment with Best Practices above.
*Please note that our subscription does not include access to Gemini Pro.
