Responsible use

AI can help you produce work, but it cannot be accountable for it. A named person remains responsible for every output that leaves your hands. Confirm current tool approvals on the Penn Generative AI Tools & Resources page before requesting or purchasing.

Institutional accounts only

Penn’s protections come from the contract behind the account, not the brand name. Personal or free-tier ChatGPT, Claude, or Microsoft accounts are not approved for Penn data.

  • Sign in with pennkey@upenn.edu via PennKey SSO (Two-Step Verification applies).
  • Confirm your Penn identity (and Penn shield where shown) before entering work content.
  • Licenses are named individuals — no shared or generic logins for interactive tools.
  • API keys and service accounts go through the LLM Gateway (or the relevant platform), with a named owner; never paste keys into a prompt.

Hard limits (every tool)

  • Never enter credentials or payment data: passwords, API keys, tokens, connection strings, SSNs, or credit/payment cards.
  • No PHI/HIPAA unless the specific tool is contractually approved for it (Claude Enterprise, ChatGPT Edu, and Gemini are not).
  • Student records are Moderate (FERPA) — use only tools approved for Moderate, for a legitimate educational purpose, with minimum identifiable detail.
  • Minimize before you paste: redact names and identifiers you do not need; prefer summaries or synthetic examples.
  • Outputs inherit the classification of their inputs — store and share accordingly.
  • New tools or integrations with Moderate/High data require Privacy + OIS review (SPIA / VSTAR via Procurement).

Code & agents (interim)

  • Use only approved coding assistants; treat internal source as at least Moderate risk.
  • AI-generated code needs human review before merge; normal testing and change management still apply.
  • Verify every suggested dependency — models commonly hallucinate package names.
  • Scope agent permissions narrowly; keep a human approving consequential actions.
  • Detailed AI Coding Tools guidance is forthcoming; Copilot Studio is licensed separately from Copilot Chat / M365 Copilot.
