Description

To put Cornell at the forefront of Artificial Intelligence innovation, as well as provide tools that allow faculty and staff to realize time and effort savings, Cornell needs AI tools that allow its constituents the opportunity to manipulate protected data (as defined by University policy and applicable federal and state laws).

CIT is developing a chatbot tool that allows Cornell to use AI in a Cornell-owned environment. The goals of this project include providing an AI tool that can be used with moderate or high-risk data.

SandboxAI is currently available to those with a demonstrated need for this secure environment. During this initial exploratory phase, CIT plans to continue developing SandboxAI. 

Access SandboxAI
