GenAI is a type of artificial intelligence that can create new content, whether it’s writing a story, composing music, or generating images. GenAI tools create new content based on questions or requests that you ask it -- using what is called a “prompt.”
Getting Started with Generative AI
Examples of things you can do with Generative AI:
- Summarize class or research notes
- Edit written work - improve grammar, sentence construction and other language elements
- Generate practice questions for exam preparation on a specific topic
- Translate text into different languages
- Provide stimulus or generate ideas to extend and develop
- Suggest ways to organize your time or project tasks
BC students, faculty, and staff have access to three Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) Tools with data protection:
- Microsoft Copilot Chatbot
- Google Gemini Chatbot
- Google NotebookLM
About Data Protection
Data Protection for Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, and Google NotebookLM is available for current students, faculty (full time and part time), and staff (computer users) to engage and experiment with AI in a protected environment as instructed below. NOTE: Students under 18 years old will not have access to these tools with Data Protection due to restrictions by the vendors.
There are a number of training options to choose from, including a self-guided Canvas course created specifically for the BC community
