March 11, 2024
Why Microsoft Copilot is your Go-To for Generative AI at the University of North Florida
The University of North Florida recognizes the importance of utilizing artificial intelligence to enhance productivity and security in academic institutions. Microsoft Copilot is an AI-powered assistant that offers numerous benefits and features to meet the needs of UNF's faculty, staff, and students.
Chatting with Copilot on the Web with Data Protection
Wondering how Copilot can help you at work? The short answer: efficient handling of tasks that couldn't be automated before, improved productivity, and more time to focus on high-impact work. Whereas other AI chat experiences may provide outdated answers, Copilot offers responses based on up-to-date information. With Copilot, you have the power of a leading-edge tool and the protection needed for our confidential data.
Use Copilot to:
- Quickly make sense of long web pages, PDFs and other documents
- Craft and polish your writing almost effortlessly
- Create stunning images for articles, social media, and more
Enhanced Security and Compliance
The paramount distinction separating Copilot from other AI comes in the form of security and data privacy. Copilot is the only AI solution approved for handling UNF information. When signed into your UNF account, Copilot ensures that your data remains within a secure environment. It is not shared with the Large Language Model (LLM) and does not leave UNF's private environment; queries are not saved and your results are not viewable by others. This aspect is crucial to ensuring the online safety of our faculty and staff, and guarantees that sensitive information remains confidential and protected.
Cross-Platform Accessibility with a Focus on Security
Understanding that our community uses a diverse range of devices, Copilot's features are tailored to function across different operating systems. While Mac users might not see Copilot integrated at the OS level, they will benefit from its features by visiting https://copilot.microsoft.com/. In each case, the yellow button in Copilot serves as a beacon of security – a reminder that your work is in a protected environment.
Embracing the Future with Microsoft Copilot
As we stand on the brink of a new era where AI-assisted work environments are the new normal, Microsoft Copilot is not just a tool; it's a lifeline for the UNF community. It's the authorized, secure, and intelligent assistant that meets our data privacy needs, ensuring that our faculty, staff, and students are not just keeping pace with the times but are ahead of the curve.
With Copilot, the UNF community is poised to embark on a journey of enhanced productivity, creativity, and security. It's not just about getting work done; it's about redefining how we work in an AI-augmented world.
Welcome to the future. Welcome to Microsoft Copilot at UNF.
