PRIVACY
- Here is a massive spreadsheet by Sarah Wood that lists most of the AI models and API tools and scores them for a variety of privacy and environmental issues. It scores them for appropriate use for elementary, middle and high school, but very useful for higher education too.
- European Data Protection Board Report (April 2025) on AI Privacy Risks & Mitigations Large Language Models (LLMs)
- Incogni Report: Gen AI and LLM Data Privacy Ranking 2025 (June 2025)
- Le Chat by Mistral AI is the least privacy-invasive platform, with ChatGPT and Grok following closely behind.
- Platforms developed by the biggest tech companies turned out to be the most privacy invasive, with Meta AI (Meta) being the worst, followed by Gemini (Google) and Copilot (Microsoft). DeepSeek was also indicated as one of the most privacy invasive.
- Gemini, DeepSeek, Pi AI, and Meta AI don’t seem to allow users to opt out of having prompts used to train the models.
- ChatGPT turned out to be the most transparent about whether prompts will be used for model training and had a clear privacy policy.
- All investigated models collect users’ data from “publicly accessible sources, ” which could include personal information.

- Institutional Policies & Guidance collected by Joe Sabado.
- If you have any sort of institutional policy or framework for AI, you could create a customized bot for faculty on your campus to create a syllabus policy specifically for their course but aligned with your campus policy. You could write this yourself, but try this:
- Write code for an interactive interface that will produce a Generative AI syllabus policy for a college course that is both customized for individual faculty needs in that course and aligned with the university or college framework or policy. [Attach or provide a link to the campus policy or framework.] Start by asking faculty a few question about how they want to approach AI usage in their course, and offer the option of uploading a syllabus or learning goals. Offer some options based on the university framework and then provide a draft syllabus for the faculty member.
