When using AI chatbots and generative AI tools, never share:

• Personal information (SSN, birth date, address)
• Financial details
• Medical records
• Login credentials
• Confidential documents
• Private student/employee information

These services may store your conversations and use them for training. Treat AI interactions like public conversations - if you wouldn't post it publicly online, don't share it with an AI.

Need help determining what's safe to share? Contact the UO Libraries for guidance.

Generative AI tools are continuously evolving and updating. With that in mind, here are some final considerations for keeping up to speed and for further broadening your understanding of generative AI:

1. Use UO's Library Catalog to find scholarly and popular articles on generative AI topics
2. Work on some free modules with LinkedIn Learning that focus on generative AI topics
3. Follow newsletters, podcasts or blogs that cover the latest generative AI news and developments, such as OpenAI's blog or the podcast Plain English with Derek Thompson
4. Ask questions and practice critically evaluating generative AI content!
