ChatGPT Edu
Artificial Intelligence
ChatGPT for Education is a secure, privacy-focused version of OpenAI’s platform, designed for responsible use with Duke’s sensitive and protected data but not PHI (Learn more about Duke data classifications). OpenAI ensures that no data entered in the Duke ChatGPT Edu workspace is used to train its models.
Note for the Duke Health Community: Currently, ChatGPT is not approved for use within the Duke Health environment or Duke Kunshan University (DKU). A current list of available Duke Health AI tools and assistance is found on the Duke Health Generative AI page.
