AI Tools

Explore a list of campuswide and popular AI tools currently in use and guidance on what you may use them for. This list isn’t exhaustive and may change as new AI tools become available.

Using AI Responsibly

Protect Sensitive Information
Never enter HIPAA and FERPA protected data or personal, private, and sensitive information (e.g., IDs, passwords, etc.), regardless if the tool is covered by a UNLV agreement or not.
Safeguard Intellectual Property
Avoid uploading copyrighted content into AI tools without permission. By doing so, the AI tool might reproduce copy or material that violates the creator’s rights.
Helpful Assistant
AI can help with simple tasks like brainstorming ideas, not a replacement for your own work.
AI In Classes
Students should check with their instructors before using AI for their coursework.
Be Transparent About AI Use
Be transparent when you’ve used AI to help with your work or research.
Get Consent Before Using AI In Meetings
Get consent from all participants before using AI tools that record, take notes, or summarize meetings (e.g., Zoom AI Companion, Google Meet, etc.). If anyone doesn’t consent, these tools cannot be used, per NSHE policy.
