Santa Clara University has recently made available to our students, staff and faculty access to Google Gemini and NotebookLM.
Google Gemini is a chatbot, similar to ChatGPT, that allows users to interact with a Large Language Model/AI. The version of Gemini available to the campus currently does not allow for image generation.
NotebookLM is another tool powered by Gemini that allows you to engage with sources to better understand what they are saying and provides multiple ways for you to interact with this information - including creating a podcast based on sources you upload.
One important thing to note - the version of Gemini and NotebookLM you access through your SCU account falls under the campus agreement with Google. This means that your interactions will not be reviewed by a human reviewer, not will it be used to train other AI models.
More details will be added to this page as we are able to experiment with Gemini and explore its capabilities.
The campus has provided guidelines for the best use of Generative AI, for your review.
