No. Students must not be required to sign up for or use ChatGPT Version 4. There is a separate advisory about ChatGPT Version 3.5.
PIA Guidance Reasoning
- Users must create accounts to use ChatGPT version 4, requiring a valid email address and phone number.
- User information is stored, used, and copied outside of Canada. Because UBC does not hold an agreement with ChatGPT, we have no assurances as to the data’s uses or storage safety.
