ChatGPT Edu, a secure, privacy-focused version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT available to the Duke community, has been upgraded to GPT-5.2, with 100 credits per week to explore additional models.
Many AI platforms are designed to learn from user inputs by default, a model that can clash with the obligations universities have to protect research data, student information, and institutional trust.
According to Duke’s Acceptable Use Policy, your content is subject to Duke’s institutional privacy, security, and legal safeguards, rather than the data-use practices of public platforms.
