LASP +employees are required to abide by CU's guidelines if they intend to use Generative AI Tools for work related purposes. +Please see the [list of approved tools](https://www.colorado.edu/information-technology/ai-cu-boulder/ai-tools-list). +If the tool you wish to use is not listed, the Resources & Guidance page has a link to contact OIT to request its +review. + +## What are Generative AI Tools + +ChatGPT and other tools in this category are artificial intelligence (AI) systems which have the ability to perform +tasks that normally require human-level intelligence. They are AI-based large language models (LLMs) designed to assist +users in generating human-like text and analyzing text for meaningful conclusions and other results. DALL-E, Midjourney, +and other tools in this category are generative image models designed to generate images from text descriptions. + +## LASP-specific concerns + +While these tools hold the potential to significantly advance research capabilities and streamline operations, they +also introduce risks related to data privacy, intellectual property exposure, and the integrity of scientific research. +As a research institution, we have additional considerations that are not specifically called out in the CU guidelines: + +* **Data Privacy and Security and Export Control:** CU guidelines list approved data levels for use with approved tools, + and link to the [CU data classification scheme] + (https://www.cu.edu/data-governance/resources-support/data-classification). Note that research proposals and internal + business documents are considered Confidential, not Public; this also covers software that has not been published. + Content that is covered under ITAR/EAR or CUI is considered Highly Confidential. Zoom and Teams AI capabilities + should not be enabled and used for meetings that entail ITAR, EAR, or CUI restricted content. + +* **Blindly Using Generated Code:** Generated code could potentially contain malicious elements, posing a risk to + system security. Even absent explicit security issues, generated scripts may not be well written, containing elements + that could be inadvertently harmful to systems within which the scripts execute. All code generated by Generative AI + tools must be reviewed, understood, and scrutinized before running it on LASP systems to ensure it does not contain + malicious elements. This review should be done with sufficient cognizance of the programming language. + +* **Ethics:** There are concerns about whether the data used to train a given Generative AI Tool has been properly + licensed and/or used with permission; use of generative AI tools has the potential to violate copyright of writers and + artists who own the original content. The computing processes required to run generative AI are extremely resource + intensive, raising concerns around the environmental impact and sustainability of generative AI, so the use of + generative AI tools is in conflict with LASP and CU's climate goals. + +## Responsibility + +In the event of any uncertainty or ambiguity regarding the use of these tools, LASP members should seek clarification +or assistance from their supervisors, contract officials, compliance officers, and/or CU OIT to mitigate potential +risks and ensure adherence to all relevant guidelines, regulations, laws, and institutional policies. +While LASP does not have an official organizational element defined to administer and support the use of Generative AI +tools, questions can be posed to the #chatgpt Slack channel for general guidance.

Note that research proposals and internal - business documents are considered Confidential, not Public; this also covers software that has not been published. - Content that is covered under ITAR/EAR or CUI is considered Highly Confidential. Zoom and Teams AI capabilities - should not be enabled and used for meetings that entail ITAR, EAR, or CUI restricted content. - -* **Blindly Using Generated Code:** Generated code could potentially contain malicious elements, posing a risk to - system security. Even absent explicit security issues, generated scripts may not be well written, containing elements - that could be inadvertently harmful to systems within which the scripts execute. All code generated by Generative AI - tools must be reviewed, understood, and scrutinized before running it on LASP systems to ensure it does not contain - malicious elements. This review should be done with sufficient cognizance of the programming language. - -* **Ethics:** There are concerns about whether the data used to train a given Generative AI Tool has been properly - licensed and/or used with permission; use of generative AI tools has the potential to violate copyright of writers and - artists who own the original content. The computing processes required to run generative AI are extremely resource - intensive, raising concerns around the environmental impact and sustainability of generative AI, so the use of - generative AI tools is in conflict with LASP and CU's climate goals. - -## Responsibility - -In the event of any uncertainty or ambiguity regarding the use of these tools, LASP members should seek clarification -or assistance from their supervisors, contract officials, compliance officers, and/or CU OIT to mitigate potential -risks and ensure adherence to all relevant guidelines, regulations, laws, and institutional policies. -While LASP does not have an official organizational element defined to administer and support the use of Generative AI -tools, questions can be posed to the #chatgpt Slack channel for general guidance. Feedback or questions can be provided -to your [ITGC](/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=139193455) representatives. - -## Terminology - -| **Term** | **Definition** | -| ------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -| AI | Artificial Intelligence | -| LLM | "Large Language Model," a text-based generative AI system designed to understand and generate human-like language. | -| GPT | "Generative Pre-trained Transformer," the foundational technology that powers large language models designed to generate text that mimics human writing. | -| Generative AI | AI that can generate new content after learning from large datasets. | -| Permissive Image Models | Generative AI models that are specifically designed or configured to allow for broader use without strict copyright or usage restrictions. | -| PII (Personally Identifiable Information) | Information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. | -| EAR (Export Administration Regulations) | United States regulations that govern the export and re-export of items for national security, foreign policy, and nonproliferation reasons. | -| ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) | U.S. regulations that control the export and import of defense-related articles and services on the United States Munitions List. | -| CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information) | Information that requires safeguarding or dissemination controls pursuant to and consistent with law, regulations, and government-wide policies, excluding classified information. | -
