We are thrilled to announce that Microsoft Copilot is now available at no additional charge to all students, faculty, and staff at UT Dallas. This powerful AI tool, leveraging the advanced GPT-4 and DALL-E 3 models, is designed to boost productivity and creativity across our university community.
Microsoft Copilot operates under a commercial data protection agreement with Microsoft, ensuring that your data is encrypted, not retained, and not used for AI model training. However, please note that Copilot is currently not approved for processing confidential university data.
As we embrace this innovative tool, it’s important to distinguish between this freely available version of Copilot and the separate, paid Copilot for Microsoft 365, which is still under evaluation for security and compliance. You can start exploring Copilot by signing in with your UT Dallas Microsoft 365 account—no immediate action is required. Watch our training video for information on signing in and accessing this tool. For faster access, add Copilot to your browser.
