I'm concerned about data privacy when using GenAI.

When using publicly available or free tools, you should assume that information you enter is not private and has the potential to become public later.

Information provided to GenAI (via prompts, questions, attachments, etc) services may be accessible by the service provider (and its partners and sub-contractors) and is likely to be used in some way. Particularly when the service is free to use.

Use of these tool should be done thoughtfully, and in line with relevant University policies. See more at GenAI Frequently Asked Questions.

Staff should review the Terms and Conditions of any technology they choose to use. Each Tinker Workshop will include a brief discussion on the T&Cs of the tool being used in the Workshop.

The University of Newcastle acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands within our footprint areas: Awabakal, Darkinjung, Biripai, Worimi, Wonnarua, and Eora Nations. We also pay respect to the wisdom of our Elders past and present.
