Washington University ChatGPT Beta sandbox is compliant for use with sensitive data and WashU intellectual property, including information protected under HIPAA and FERPA. "The tool is now available to anyone with a WashU affiliation via WUSTL Key login at gpt.wustl.edu.
In order to provide you with a secure environment in which to explore generative AI with your sensitive data as quickly as possible, we have released this tool in Beta form, and as such it is not yet mobile-friendly and you may experience limited capacity or constraints on your utilization. If you experience issues, please provide feedback, be patient and try again – we need input from our user community to help identify issues and opportunities for improvement. The feedback form can also be found inside the tool’s sidebar menu."
"Visit it.wustl.edu/ai for a FAQ about the new sandbox environment and to learn more about using generative AI tools effectively and responsibly."
As a reminder, faculty and staff also have access to Bing Chat Enterprise at bing.com/chat or via the Microsoft Edge sidebar when logged in to an institutional Microsoft account. "It is important to understand that personally identifiable, confidential or sensitive information should not be entered into Bing Chat Enterprise as it does not meet HIPAA, FERPA or similar compliance requirements. The purpose of the new WashU ChatGPT tool is to fill that critical gap."
