Ohio State is pushing the boundaries with AI by ensuring the tools we adopt are secure and powerful enough to equip students, faculty, researchers and staff to lead in a changing world. We are continually considering and testing new tools to enable Buckeyes to keep pace in this rapidly changing field.
Approved Tools
Approved tools enable you to use AI while keeping your information private
How to use AI
Free resources available through Ohio State and beyond
Prompt library
You can start using AI with very simple prompts and gradually work up to more complex ones as your skills and confidence grow. The prompt library provides easy examples and shows the kinds of responses different tools generate based on the prompts you use.
Copilot Chat now built into Microsoft 365 apps
Buckeyes can now chat with Copilot directly inside Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote — using AI to summarize, edit, analyze and create without ever leaving their work.
Responsible use
It’s important to pause and think critically before using AI. We're coaching instructors and students to consider key questions, weigh the benefits and risks, and understand how different tools handle the information you provide. This reflection will support thoughtful, responsible use—whether in teaching, research, or creative work.
