Generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) Tools at MTU
Michigan Tech supports the responsible use of generative artificial intelligence tools in academic, professional, and research settings. The following information should help you in determining which tools you can use and how to get started with them.
Google Gemini
The basic Google Gemini application is available to all MTU faculty, staff and students at no cost. To get started, go to Google Gemini and enter a prompt to be processed by Google’s Gemini generative AI service, which can be used to answer questions, summarize content, generate new content, etc.
Data submitted to Gemini when logged into your MTU account is afforded the same data protections as all other data you create or store in Google Workspace for Education. Data you submit won’t be used or reviewed by anyone to improve AI models.
