UCLA IT Services (ITS) recently announced the launch of UCLA’s Generative AI site—a collaborative resource designed to empower our community while adhering to our institutional values of integrity and scholarly excellence.
Central to the GenAI site is a dedicated section on ethical and security guidance that builds on the advice and strategies shared by the Academic Senate’s campuswide announcement on AI teaching guidance.
The site presents a curated selection of GenAI tools for our campus community that have been carefully selected to ensure compliance with the highest security and privacy standards. Microsoft Copilot is currently available for faculty and non-UCLA Health staff via UCLA logon credentials, featuring robust commercial data protections. An extension of Microsoft Copilot for students is planned. Additionally, ITS is actively piloting several productivity tools, including Microsoft 365 Copilot and Google Gemini for Workspaces.
Comprehensive guides and training materials tailored for different proficiency levels are available on the GenAI site. These resources empower the campus community to effectively leverage GenAI tools and stay at the forefront of this rapidly advancing field. In tandem with these GenAI endeavors, UCLA’s DataX initiative complements and elevates our offerings, ensuring that our community is fortified with the latest developments in data science and AI tools for academic and administrative distinction. The launch of this new site emphasizes UCLA’s commitment to community engagement and continuous learning about GenAI.
Join ITS’ mailing list to stay informed about upcoming keynotes, presentations, workshops, and training sessions integral to the technological advancements underway.
