Hi Chris,

 

UVA Libraries licensed Consensus, and there is a university-wide license for Microsoft Copilot.   

 

Regards,

Please pardon duplication!

 

Good morning.

 

Here at Emory Libraries, we are starting and expediting a process to establish a policy re: AI product promotion and/or acquisition. As I am sure many of you have experienced, vendors are offering quite a few options (most for additional purchase) for such products. Two vendors in particular have been relatively persistent—Scite.ai and Consensus. Note that Emory has not yet signed on to a university-wide academic AI tool such as ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot Academic, but is currently exploring such alternatives. Supposedly, a new AI policy is to be unveiled in December. In any case, I am curious if anyone on these lists has a site license to either Scite.ai and/or Consensus and if so, who is paying, who negotiated the license, etc.

 

Thanks for any and all information you’re able to share!

 

Chris
