Cornell-Supported Tools
Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat
(for Web Browsers)
This university-wide “private” version of ChatGPT and Dall-E enables faculty, staff, and students who are 18 years of age or older to experiment with generative AI text, image, and coding tools without storing the person’s login and chat data or being used to train the large language models.Copilot in Windows
(Available on Some Cornell Computers)
Copilot in Windows has been integrated into the Windows 11 operating system. It can help answer questions, check the weather, or adjust Windows settings, like turning on dark mode or snapping windows side by side. It will also answer questions in the same way that Copilot Enterprise will.Adobe Firefly
(Available with an Adobe License)
Firefly allows you to generate images from text, then manipulate and edit them. Coming soon: generative voice and video content.Tools Under Review
Zoom AI Companion
Zoom's AI Companion gives hosts and participants sharable meeting summaries and next-steps lists, “highlight reels” in recordings, catch-up options for people joining a meeting late, and more. Currently, the university is evaluating security and privacy considerations for these new features.Github Copilot
GitHub Copilot is an AI-powered pair programmer developed by GitHub (owned by Microsoft) in collaboration with OpenAI. It assists developers by providing autocompletions and code suggestions while they write code.Microsoft 365 Copilot
Microsoft 365 Copilot integrates AI capabilities into various Microsoft 365 applications including Word, Excel, Outlook, OneNote, Teams, SharePoint and more. The university is evaluating the cost, privacy, security, and licensing requirements of this service.Training

University Task Force Reports
Initial reports from university-wide tasks forces established around Generative AI on campus.
- Generative Artificial Intelligence for Education and Pedagogy (June 2023)
- Generative AI in Academic Research: Perspectives and Cultural Norms (December 2023)
- Generative AI in Administration (January 2024)
AI Advisory Council
The Generative AI Advisory Council will play a pivotal role in guiding priorities, policy, and practice around generative AI within and across the Cornell system (including Ithaca, New York City, and Geneva). The Clinical AI program (that Weill Cornell participates in with NYP and Columbia) is separate from, but adjacent to, the Advisory Council. Goals of the Generative AI Advisory Council are:
- to champion a broad range of groups, topics, experimentation, standards, and practices connected to generative AI;
- to prioritize and focus institutional resources toward the strengths of generative AI tool use;
- to mitigate risks associated with that use in university-related activities and operations.
This is not meant to supplant specialized explorations or previously existing efforts or groups that already focus on AI, specifically in the research domain where disciplinary AI studies and use are longstanding.
Executive Sponsors: Acting Provost John Siliciano, Bob Harrington, Curt Cole
