AI Competency Centre
AI Support Chatbot
The AI Competency Centre team will be taking a break over the holiday period, returning to office on Monday 5 January. As always, our resources remain available to all members of the University.
Over the holiday period, existing usage limits will remain in place in the ChatGPT Edu platform. However, we have introduced additional safeguards and notifications to support you while our team is out of office. Should you surpass the weekly cap you will now encounter an in-app notification within the ChatGPT Edu workspace. This will read “You’ve hit the Edu plan limit for [name of model or feature]. Responses will use another model until your limit resets [ + 7 Days]”.
What we can do for you
We develop and offer a selection of resources and training for staff and students across the collegiate University to ensure that everyone can use AI/ML tools with confidence, safety and for appropriate applications.
We offer overviews of the tools available to members of the collegiate University here at Oxford and offer ways to access some of these in a secure, supported manner. Certain tools can be purchased through us at discounted rates, with access to better data protections.
Our dedicated team of research software engineers, AI consultants and trainers offer free consultancy to staff across the collegiate University on understanding and deploying AI-powered tools. This includes providing access to commercial AI tools in a controlled and secure environment.
To help you get started with generative AI tools and make the most out of them, the AI Competency Centre team have put together guides and resources. These offer walkthroughs of particular platforms, such as ChatGPT Edu, to get you set up, as well as more in-depth guides of how to apply your new tool in your work.
We are also managing several online communities on Teams that anyone at the collegiate University is welcome to join.
Generative AI SIG – Generative AI Special Interest Group
This is a public Teams group to learn about latest updates in AI, share experiences, ask questions and discuss philosophical issues about GenAI.
AI BUG – AI Builders User Group
This is a public Teams user group where people from across the University meet to share lessons learned about building applications using large language models.
