This includes the use of AI plugins for meeting transcription within the Microsoft Teams and Zoom videoconferencing platforms.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAll technology services and tools offered at the Institute undergo a comprehensive review, which includes a series of third-party risk assessments, privacy and security analysis, contractual negotiations, financial and technical support impact assessments, and data stewardship approvals.

With this in mind, OIT has disabled the use of third-party AI plugins pending a comprehensive risk review.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo improve visibility into services that have already passed a risk review and which are still under evaluation, OIT has published a tool availability chart on its \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/oit.gatech.edu\/ai\/guidance\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAI Standards and Guidance\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E webpage. The chart includes meeting transcription tools that have been approved and are available for use, such as Teams Premium and Zoom AI Companion, as well as those that have not yet been approved, but are currently under review, such as Read AI and Otter.ai. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cOur goal is to accelerate access to as many capabilities as we can to support the innovative work happening across the Institute,\u201d Howell said. \u201cAt the same time, we must remain mindful of the risk implications that come with these technologies. By carefully evaluating each tool, we can ensure that we are balancing access with the need to protect Institute data and remain compliant with USG and Institute standards.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs with the Institute\u2019s official guidance on AI use, service availability will continue to evolve and expand over the next several months.
