As artificial intelligence becomes a bigger part of the tools we use for teaching, learning, communication, and productivity, many faculty and staff want to know how their data is managed. Concordia University, St. Paul is dedicated to using AI responsibly and encourages everyone to learn about the privacy and data protection promises made by our technology partners. The resources below show how our approved generative AI vendors handle data in their AI-powered services, what information they might keep, and whether customer content is used to train their AI models. We encourage all users to look over these materials and use AI tools according to university policies, FERPA rules, and data governance standards.
