Enabling AI at UC
The University of Cincinnati is committed to empowering its students, faculty, and staff with cutting-edge AI tools and resources that enhance learning, research, and innovation.
Through our Microsoft 365 licensing agreement, we provide secure access to Microsoft Copilot, a generative AI chat assistant designed to support and elevate your academic and professional endeavors.
In addition to Copilot, we are actively developing a comprehensive AI Services Roadmap, which includes pilots for advanced AI tools such as Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service and AWS Bedrock, as well as an on-premises enterprise LLM environment.
Our goal is to offer a versatile AI toolkit that meets the diverse needs of our university community.
Microsoft Copilot
The university's Microsoft 365 licensing agreement provides current students, faculty, and staff privacy-protected access to Microsoft Copilot chat—a generative AI chat assistant service grounded in data from the public web.
Copilot for Microsoft 365 is available to faculty and staff as paid add-on license.
AI Services Roadmap
We are working to provide a toolkit of private Large Language Model (LLM) options that can be used across the university.
DTS is now recruiting participants for the Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service Pilot launching this fall semester.
Faculty and staff interested in joining the pilot were invited to submit an OpenAI Pilot Request Form by Friday, Oct. 25. All requests will be routed to a designated point-of-contact in each college or unit for review and approval. Read more about the OpenAI Service Pilot in UC News.
If you have any questions, please contact us.
DTS plans to beta test two additional AI platforms during the 2024-2025 academic year—Amazon Web Services (AWS) Bedrock in the fall semester and On-Premises Enterprise Large Language Model (LLM) Environment in the spring semester.
