翱惫别谤惫颈别飞听

These guidelines are for 澳门开奖结果2023开奖记录 communications and marketing and not intended to apply to other areas of the university. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) services, which generate text, images or other media in response to human-generated prompts, are rapidly growing and evolving. Many generative AI applications carry significant potential to support human innovation across a wide range of marketing communications disciplines. These include AI tools used to generate content, such as images, text, music/audio, software development, video, web and app development, and design/illustration. Find a glossary of common AI terms below. This page will be periodically updated to reflect new thinking and changes in AI offerings.

Guiding Principles

University Strategic Relations and Communications (SRC) encourages exploration of generative AI services with the following guiding principles in mind:

Be real. AI Should Augment, Not Replace, Humans聽

Ensure humans review AI results for accuracy of information and potential bias.听聽

Be transparent. Use Citations and Check Them for Accuracy聽聽

The use of material taken from any source鈥攚hether directly quoted, paraphrased or otherwise adapted鈥攕hould be attributed to that source. This includes AI.听

Any and all AI results should use traditional research methods to fact check, and you must accurately confirm and document correct sources and accurately cite all AI-generated text, images or videos.听

Be inclusive. Monitor for and Reduce Bias鈥

AI "learns" using data-based assumptions from a wide data set. AI will respond in a similar fashion to what was in the prompt. Including bias in your prompts will generate biased content. All materials generated using AI tools must be carefully reviewed, approved, edited and overseen by a human author.

Be safe. Protect CU鈥檚 Data聽

Any prompt or materials provided to AI platforms may be stored and used for subsequent responses to users outside 澳门开奖结果2023开奖记录. Refrain from using any personally identifiable (PII) or when working with any AI platform.听

Sharing or providing any trademarked 澳门开奖结果2023开奖记录 logos, images, videos or other proprietary files, code, text or institution data is strictly prohibited.听

Be respectful. Respect Individual Privacy聽

Using personally identifiable information (PII) in an AI prompt puts private information at risk of theft, and the person at an increased risk of identity theft and having their PII released publicly. Never provide personal information or employee information (benefits, salary, performance plans, etc.) to any AI platform.听

Appropriate Marketing and Communications Outcomes鈥痑nd Uses聽

The use of generative AI tools for internal and external communications and marketing is subject to specific guidelines that align with our brand values, ethos, ethical standards and legal obligations. These tools may be used only to assist with creative work; they may not be used on their own or to replace the role or importance of human creators. As with all work (with or without the use of AI), every effort must be made to ensure accuracy, eliminate bias, and uphold privacy and confidentiality. The following list of approved and prohibited tools is not exhaustive.
