Rowan-Licensed GenAI Tools
Microsoft Copilot
What It Does
Data Use Guidelines
You may enter data of all classification levels in Rowan-licensed GenAI tools (Copilot and Firefly).
Only public data may be entered in non-licensed tools.
Copilot is an AI-powered chat platform built on GPT-4 and DALL-E 3 models.
By signing in with your Rowan email, you get commercial data protection. That means your “prompts and responses aren't saved, Microsoft has no eyes-on access, and chat data isn't used to train the underlying large language models.”
Who Has Access
Faculty, staff and students
How You Access It
Adobe Firefly
What It Does
Adobe Firefly allows you to “create images, add styles and textures to text, fill image areas with AI-generated content, create social media posts, posters, and flyers, generate vector graphics, and more — all with simple text prompts.”
Who Has Access
Anyone with access to Adobe Creative Cloud, which includes faculty, staff, students in approved College of Communication & Creative Arts courses, and approved student workers.
How You Access It
Data Security & Privacy
Protect Rowan Data
Only data classified as public — meaning anyone outside of Rowan could access the data today via the Rowan website or other means — may be used in GenAI tools that aren't licensed by Rowan University.
Do not enter non-public information from Rowan University into any non-licensed GenAI tools. You may enter non-public information in the Rowan-licensed GenAI tools listed above.
Protect Your Data
Assume any data you enter into a free or paid GenAI tool may be exposed at some point.
Do not enter compromising or sensitive personal information into GenAI tools.
