Students now have access to ZotGPT Chat, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot - UCI's official generative AI solutions supported by the Office of Information Technology!
Remember: always use AI-generated content ethically and transparently, and follow your instructor's guidelines if you use AI for coursework. If you're unsure whether or how your instructor would like you to use AI, don't make assumptions. Ask them. If you use AI-generated content and represent it as your own original work, this can qualify as academic misconduct and may have consequences for your student status.
ZotGPT Chat is available to students, faculty, and staff at no cost. As part of OIT's ongoing commitment to supporting the university's emerging generative AI needs, ZotGPT Chat can help brainstorm ideas, develop plans, and find different ways to get things done; for any use related to classes, be sure to follow your instructor's guidelines. Currently, Chat supports multiple models, chat history, file uploads, and a large context window. ZotGPT Chat is built using Microsoft Azure AI, Amazon AWS, and open web technologies.
OIT provides these tools as UCI-contracted resources offering greater degrees of privacy and security than the publicly-available commercial versions of these tools. In line with UCI's values of equity, diversity, and inclusion, generative AI not only offers broad opportunities for teaching, learning, and research but also has the potential to replicate and reinforce social biases, to spread misinformation, and to have disproportionate effects on communities and their environments.
Copilot is a chatbot using GPT-4 Turbo and DALL-E3 that provides a generative chat experience featuring text extraction, image generation, PDF summarization, and other useful features.
Google Gemini is an experimental AI chatbot that helps users brainstorm ideas, develop plans, and find different ways to get things done.
Zoom AI Companion features include meeting transcription, summarization, Q&A, and more. Features need to be enabled via the Zoom web portal. Users are notified when a meeting is AI-enhanced.

In order to best serve our students, we need to engage with generative AI in meaningful ways across the curriculum.
From research to implementation, researchers, faculty, staff, and students are working on exciting AI and ML projects!
Learn all about data classification levels and what sorts of data are safe to provide to these generative AI tools.
AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Copilot offer advanced responses, but raise security and privacy concerns for submitted data.
Research in AI is concerned with producing machines to automate tasks requiring intelligent behavior. Examples include computer vision, bioinformatics, constraint-based problem solving, text understanding, data mining and smart sensor networks.
