AI Tools for Research
The following is a short list of potential solutions to the needs of Brandeis researchers. Please understand that these platforms, even if purchased, may not offer data protection services, meaning that using them may cause your research data to be used in the development of AI models or may be reviewed by human eyes. It is important to evaluate each product individually and to ensure that you do not upload materials that you may not want reviewed, used or that you do not have permission to upload based on university policies or policies of database vendors where data is provided to the Brandeis under strict usage policies.
If you are interested in a specific platform for a division or for possible university-wide adoption, please contact the Academic Technology Advisory Committee, or a member of the Research Computing Subcommittee. If you are unsure about the useability of specific data from a platform provided by the University, please contact the Brandeis Library.
