In order to provide access to AI tools for the Luther Seminary community, OT has licensed some commercial AI tools. This is commonly known as operating in a “walled garden,” where some privacy protections are in place (often free AI tools lack privacy controls). You should avoid free AI tools for seminary work. In this context, the privacy protections are the following:
– What you enter is not used to train the AI model.
– What you enter is not reviewed by people.
For more information, visit the Luther Seminary Provided AI Tools webpage. The seminary’s Academic Honesty policy gives guidance to students on use of AI in their coursework.
