Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat is a generative artificial intelligence (AI) chat platform currently available to University of Nevada, Reno students, faculty, and staff as part of the university’s existing Microsoft licensing. When you log in to Copilot Chat with your NetID and use the Work option, your prompts, answers, and viewed content are not used to train the underlying large language models.
As with any AI tool, make sure to follow the University’s Guidelines for AI Use.
