Columbia University Information Technology (CUIT) offers a growing suite of AI tools that include both self-service platforms and consultation-based support. Current offerings enable writing, analysis, translation, and information synthesis while maintaining strict privacy and compliance standards.
These services are designed to enhance productivity, support interdisciplinary research, and make generative AI tools widely available. All CUIT-provided tools operate in a "walled garden" environment, meaning user data is not used to train vendor models. Find the right tool for your data, and visit the CUIT AI Services page for the most up-to-date resources.
