If you are interested in the possibilities of generative AI, try Microsoft Copilot AI on your laptop or mobile device. Copilot, fueled by technologies like GPT-4 and DALL-E, can use the hidden patterns in previously seen text and images to generate new human-sounding text or images in response to your questions and prompts.

There are several reasons to choose Copilot. First, when you sign in with your Geneseo account, your prompts and responses are protected by commercial data privacy. Microsoft doesn’t save your information or use it to train the AI models. Second, Copilot can rapidly generate ideas, rescuing you from a blank canvas.

Generative AI tools, like Microsoft Copilot, have costs and tradeoffs, and they exist in a social context. They require unprecedented electricity, capital, and training data. Geneseo is exploring these ideas and more in our Ideas That Matter: Artificial Intelligence event series this academic year.
