Faculty Guide to ChatGPT & AI Tools

Q: Are there privacy concerns I should be aware of?

Yes. As with any information you share on the internet, you should be aware of the sensitivity of what you are sharing with AI tools and who will be able to see it.

• Touro University currently has an agreement with Microsoft Copilot, which uses ChatGPT as its AI model. This agreement improves the privacy protections for Touro users, but the normal privacy concerns still apply.
• ChatGPT is owned by OpenAI and any information your share with ChatGPT will be accessible to OpenAI for internal use by default.
• Avoid sharing secret or sensitive information with ChatGPT or any other online service that you do not fully trust.
• There are ways to minimize potentially unwanted use of your data.
  • You can opt out of having OpenAI use your chat data to train future AI models by making a privacy request.
  • You can also read further about OpenAI's content usage policies and practices, which contains other options for minimizing data collection.
