The University of Cincinnati's Digital Technology Solutions recently kicked off the university-wide BearcatGPT Microsoft Azure OpenAI Pilot.
BearcatGPT is UC's private instance of OpenAI's ChatGPT natural language processing model. The limited-use BearcatGPT Pilot provides the university community with a unique opportunity to explore OpenAI/GPT in a private, UC-only environment.
BearcatGPT pilot participants can type, record or upload prompts into the chat.
DTS partnered with designated approvers in each college and unit to include in the pilot a broad representation of faculty and staff with use cases in teaching, learning, research and process automation.
"Data used in BearcatGPT does not contribute to the publicly available OpenAI/GPT," said UC Vice President & Chief Digital Officer Bharath Prabhakaran. "The innovative configuration of this AI tool allows UC to maintain full control of data and ensure compliance with data and security guidelines."
