Commitment to Data Protection

 

As we use GenAI tools, it's crucial to uphold our commitment to data protection. When using GenAI tools:

  • Avoid sharing private or confidential information 

  • Refrain from providing sensitive data such as student records, financial details, personally identifiable information (PII), intellectual property, or any other confidential material to AI systems

  • Visit the Information Security Office website for more information

Data Protection for GenAI Tools

Data protection for GenAI tools involves implementing measures to safeguard information processed by AI systems. 

  • Microsoft Copilot with Enterprise Data Protection: RIT's setup of Copilot ensures that your chat data is private, not saved, and not used for training the AI model, providing a protected space for your inquiries.
  • Google Gemini: When you access Gemini through your RIT Google Workspace for Education account, your conversations and uploaded files benefit from enterprise-grade data protection, meaning they are not reviewed by humans or used for AI model training.
  • Google NotebookLM: Using NotebookLM with your RIT Google Workspace for Education account ensures the privacy of your uploaded documents, questions, and the AI's responses, as this data is not used for model training or human review.
  • Zoom AI Companion: With your RIT account, Zoom AI Companion ensures that your meeting content is not used to train Zoom's or third-party AI models.
