Harvard provides access to secure and robust AI platforms to safeguard privacy.

### **HUIT AI Sandbox**

- Grants access to popular large language models (LLMs), including OpenAI’s GPT-4o, Anthropic’s Claude, Google’s Gemini, and Meta’s Llama.
- Ensures privacy and security by preventing third-party access to chats.
- Can be used for image generation, data visualization, and the ability to upload multiple files.
- Does not support creating custom GPTs.
- Faculty, instructional staff, and administrative staff [can log in to the HUIT AI Sandbox here](https://sandbox.ai.huit.harvard.edu/login).

HUIT has provided [initial guidelines for the use of generative AI tools at Harvard](https://huit.harvard.edu/ai/guidelines).

### **Google Gemini**

- As part of Harvard's Google Workspace, Gemini is integrated directly into Harvard Google accounts (Gmail, Docs, Drive, etc.).
- Provides all FAS students, faculty, and staff with access to Gemini as part of the standard Harvard Google Workspace tools. Instructors should note that **Gemini will be the primary AI service available to all FAS students** in the coming academic year, making it a good option if they wish to incorporate AI into coursework.
- Includes access to NotebookLM, Google’s AI-powered research and note-taking tool.
- For assistance with Gemini access or account setup, contact HUIT (see the [Harvard Google Workspace ](https://www.huit.harvard.edu/google-workspace)page for details).

### **OpenAI ChatGPT Edu** 

- Provides access to advanced LLMs like GPT-4o and DALL-E.
- Enables the creation of custom GPTs, allowing faculty to design tailored chatbots with user-defined personas and knowledge bases for specific instructional needs (e.g., "tutorbots").
- [Members of the FAS can find information about accessing their accounts here](https://it.fas.harvard.edu/openai-chatgpt-edu/).
