PRIVACY

Your campus needs a clear and simple guide for everyone that lists what tools you can use and what information you can safely enter into each. Here is a great example from Tufts. Note how they clarify the types of data: public, confidential and restricted (which includes FERPA data).
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.

The ENVIRONMENT

Jon Ippolito’s App “What Uses More” allows you to compare the environmental footprint of digital tasks.
Andy Masley has written extensively about this and his blog provides detailed resources. I still think his sum m ary about why using ChatGPT is not bad for the environment is a good place to start.

Your campus ALSO needs a clear and simple guide for everyone that lists what tools you can use and what information you can safely enter into each. Here is a great example from Tufts. Note how they clarify the types of data: public, confidential and restricted (which includes FERPA data).
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.

CAMPUS AI LITERACY PROGRAMS, MODULES & BADGES

I created an Open-Edit List of all (90+ so far) the university microcredentials, certificates, programs and badges that Claude could find. Please correct and add yours there. So far, AI Literacy is limited to 3-4 hours of self-paced, optional online modules at most US institutions. Below are a few examples:
University of Alabama has a free UA AI Experience: a three-hour, online micro-course that establishes a foundation of AI literacy across the UA community.
University of South Carolina has Garnet AI Fluency 101, a 3-module self-paced course on how generative AI works, USC’s policies, and how to use AI tools like ChatGPT Edu effectively and ethically. It also provides the opportunity for an AI badges.
Harvard now requires 3-short modules on how AI works, what it might do to your education and what it might do to society before students take Expository Writing.
San Diego State University offers an Academic Applications of AI (AAAI) Mic r o-Credential of five learning modules focusing on practical skills and takes two to four hours to complete. Participants who successfully complete the course and all activities earn a digital badge.
Georgetown offers an AI microcredential: a self-paced, zero credit course of 8 modules that is free to students and comes with a digital badge.
The University of South Florida offers AI Whisperer: A Microcourse i n Crafting Prompts. It is a free, self-paced, 3-4 hour online course and the badge costs $39.
