Limitations 

• BCE is only available for faculty and staff use. In addition, the agreement with Microsoft requires that the tool not be used to evaluate student work. 
• While data is protected within the USF ecosystem and not passed on to Microsoft, while the program is in Preview know that encrypted, de-identified prompts may be processed on servers outside the United States. Thus, if funding restrictions require all data to be housed within the United States, BCE Preview should not be used. 
• BCE cannot be used to develop new similar or competing products, nor reverse engineered. 
• Current limits include 30 chats per conversation or session. 
• BCE uses the latest GPT-4 model from OpenAI. As with all generative AI tools, the following considerations should always be employed: 
  • Verify facts and cross-check information, as generative AI models can create incorrect information. Users are still responsible for the validity and usefulness of the content generated by these AI tools. 
  • Remember that models generate content based on training that can include biases. Be aware of this potential and actively work to ensure negative impacts are minimized. 
  • Generative AI is not a replacement for critical thinking. Use these tools to complement your ideation, brainstorming, and own creativity. Ensure your unique voice remains centered in your work. 
  • Respect copyright and original authorship, ensuring that information is properly cited, and original works are credited. 
• Understand that the BCE Preview is subject to change in features and availability as developed by Microsoft.
