Getting Started
-
Explore the power of Microsoft Copilot.
Microsoft Copilot is available to staff on UNF Windows desktops or online at copilot.microsoft.com when you log in with your UNF ID. Microsoft provides video tutorials to demonstrate the creative and constructive power of using Copilot to ask questions, solicit feedback, get organized, and generate ideas.
Begin by learning to write effective prompts. Generative AI is like interacting with a colleague, so simply give commands and ask questions. Copilot will guide the way.

Take advantage of training opportunities.
Learn more about artificial intelligence through several training opportunities available online through LinkedIn Learning and Microsoft. UNF's Digital Badge Initiative has produced Introduction to AI which is available to students and staff. Advanced enrichment and professional development programs are also available to staff at a discount through UNF's Professional and Lifelong Learning. -
Check out AI features in the systems you use every day.
While Generative AI has garnered attention in recent years, artificial intelligence has been advancing in the systems that UNF staff use each day. From predictive analytics to automated monitoring tools, these systems offer greater accuracy and efficiency than manual processes. This evolution has led to operational efficiencies and has freed up UNF staff for more impactful and meaningful work.

FAQs

How will AI impact my career at UNF?
Artificial intelligence is transforming the nature of work at UNF. Staff benefit from operational efficiencies as manual tasks can be automated, chatbots provide 24/7 first-tier customer service, systems provide real-time monitoring, and predictive analytics empower us to make informed decisions. Generative AI will become a trusted tool for questions, writing assistance, creative content, and targeted feedback.
AI can enhance our work, but it does not replace human thought, creativity, and decision-making. As AI continues to evolve -- and UNF staff learn to incorporate it into daily processes -- we will find that we can accomplish more and focus our attention on strategic and impactful endeavors.

How can I use AI now?
Microsoft Copilot is available to UNF staff at copilot.microsoft.com when you log in with your UNF ID or on your Windows desktop toolbar. Unlike ChatGPT and other open source tools, Microsoft Copilot at UNF ensures data protection and privacy, so your queries or research are never shared with the large language model.
