As a student at UiB, you have access to two AI tools free of charge (see descriptions below). In contrast to open AI tools found online, these UiB versions will encrypt all input data, providing good data protection and privacy. However, these services are not approved for the use of confidential information.

UiBChat

UiB has its own AI-driven chatbot, UiBChat, based on the same language model as ChatGPT (GPT-4), available to students and staff. Unlike ChatGPT, Bing, and others, no personal data is stored when you use it. You log in to UiBChat with your UiB account. Before using UiBChat, you should read through this information page from UiB.

Microsoft Copilot for Web

Copilot is a AI-assistant with integrated search and which provides links to its web sources. It is based on the latest language models from OpenAI (today GPT-4 Turbo) and it also gives access to the image generator Dall-E 3. You can ask it for comments on your own text, give summaries of articles, and make pictures for a slideshow. To access this version of Copilot you need to open Microsoft Edge as a UiB-user (via a UiB-computer or Microsoft 365).
