While the interface may look similar, ASU-provisioned AI tools operate under contractual agreements that protect university data—specifically prohibiting vendors from using ASU data to train their models. In contrast, publicly available AI tools (such as free or personal accounts) lack these protections. Consequently, when conducting university business, public tools should only be used with publicly available data.
Feature configurations may also differ from public versions to meet university requirements, and access varies based on account type, ASU role, or license level. Furthermore, AI providers often deploy new capabilities to personal or commercial accounts before making them available in enterprise or education environments. ASU thoroughly reviews the security and data-sharing practices of any new feature—particularly those connecting to external systems—before enabling it for the broader university community.
Signing in with ASU access provides the enhanced security controls and features built into the university's provider agreement, including stronger data privacy and capabilities not found in public tools. ASU-provided AI tools don't use your prompts or data to train the vendor's models, and they come with privacy guardrails that personal or public accounts don't have.
For many of these tools, you have a choice between the personal/public experience and the ASU enterprise experience. There are benefits to choosing the ASU-provided experience, including but not limited to:
Public AI tools may only be used with publicly available ASU data. Do not enter internal, FERPA-protected, sensitive, or highly sensitive university information into a personal or public account unless you have been explicitly granted permission to do so from authorized personnel; that data must stay within ASU-approved tools. This applies to faculty and staff, and also to students working with faculty using ASU data. Use the Data Classification Tool to accurately check your data's classification level.
Using a personal account for ASU-related work means you are assuming that risk yourself, since personal accounts aren't covered by ASU's contractual data protections.
Sign in using the ASU credentials and link provided on the tool page. Many tools also display an ASU logo, workspace name or organization indicator when you are using the university version.
Because each tool displays this information differently, check its tool page for specific instructions.
Not every ASU-provided tool is approved for every type of university information. Before entering ASU data, review the tool’s data-use information and ASU’s Data Classification, Protection and Retention standards.
Do not enter restricted, regulated sensitive or highly sensitive information unless the tool is specifically approved for that type of data and you are authorized to use it. If you are ever unsure what the classification of your data is, contact #data-handling-tools in slack or [email protected] in email.
“No Cost” means that the service is included with your standard ASU account access. You do not need to purchase an individual subscription to use the ASU-provided license. ASU funds access to these tools so eligible students, faculty and staff can use them for teaching, learning, research and daily work.
Tools marked Subscription required require a department-sponsored license. Visit the tool page for request instructions and approval requirements.
Students that require a subscription license must go through a sponsor. A faculty or staff member can request a department-sponsored license on a student's behalf by submitting a request through ServiceNow for the specific tool that requires a subscription.
For API needs, we recommend using CreateAI, which provides institutionally governed access to supported models, including OpenAI models, Claude (Anthropic), and Gemini (Google). A CreateAI API token connects to ASU’s CreateAI service, so separate vendor-issued API keys are not required.
To request an API key, open your project in CreateAI and go to Profile → API Keys → Request API Key.
For questions about supported models or usage limits, contact the #createai-community-hub Slack channel. For guidance on academic research needs, contact the Research Technology Office.
Vendor announcements often highlight new capabilities that are planned or newly released, but they are not automatically available in ASU's Enterprise environment. Before a feature can be enabled for ASU accounts, it undergoes a thorough review to ensure it meets ASU's requirements for security, privacy, accessibility, licensing, and enterprise support. Because each feature is evaluated individually, availability timelines can vary, and some vendor-announced capabilities may not be offered within ASU's Enterprise environment.
For the latest information on features available to the ASU community, please refer to the individual tool pages on this site or the #ai-support Slack channel.
As AI continues to evolve, instructors are encouraged to experiment thoughtfully and use AI in ways that align with courses and learning objectives.
Leverage the Office of the University of Provost website where you can find resources to help instructors integrate generative AI into their courses.
