(1) GenAI tools will only be available for students ages 18 and above as required by Google and Microsoft.

(2) Copilot and Gemini (web grounded) are available for students and employees, ages 18-or-over.

(3) The procurement process for schools and departments to purchase Gemini for Workspace licenses for employees is being designed.

(4) Refer to the UCOP protection levels classification page for more information.

(5) Grounding refers to the data source GenAI models refer to when creating the answers/output to your questions. A "Web" grounded GenAI tool will search the web to find source data to answer questions (i.e., Copilot). Some GenAI tools like M365 Copilot will develop answers based on the data found on the documents you have access to.

(6) When using UCLA-provided accounts
