Security Considerations 

We recommend you avoid sharing highly sensitive information with AI tools to ensure privacy and prevent risks. Reference the Aggie AI tools comparison chart to see which Data Protection Level each tool can support.

AI tools are trained on a massive dataset of text and code which may contain biased or inaccurate information. It is important to fact check outputs and use AI as an enhancement to, not a replacement for human expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why can Gemini get things wrong?
  • Generative AI and all of its possibilities are exciting, but it’s still new. Gemini can provide inaccurate or biased information based on its training data. 

    Double-check information you get from Gemini
    Gemini has tools to help you identify potentially inaccurate statements. One way to double-check Gemini’s responses is to use the Google button. This uses Google Search to find content that helps you assess and further research the information you get from Gemini.

    Gemini’s double-check feature can make mistakes
    For example, the feature may show that Google Search found content that makes a similar statement to Gemini’s. But the content may actually contradict Gemini. The web content may be inaccurate, too. You should read, review, and carefully evaluate the content identified by the double-check feature, as well as its context.
     
    Help make Gemini better
