Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence that can learn from and mimic large amounts of data to create content such as text, images, music, videos, code, and more, based on inputs or prompts. The University supports responsible experimentation with [Generative AI tools](/old-ai-tools "Generative AI Tool Comparison"), but there are [important considerations](/ai/guidelines "Generative AI Guidelines") to keep in mind when using these tools, including information security and data privacy, compliance, copyright, and academic integrity.
