The AI Toolkit for K-12 Education

Open vs. Closed AI – What’s the difference?

Open AI tools (like Chat GPT) can be used by anyone and the information they provide is available to the public. Open AI tools tend to have larger capabilities and knowledge to draw on. However, you must be careful what information you put into them (see below). Closed AI tools are private. Only members of a certain group (like a business, school district, or government entity) can access and use them. The functions of closed AI tools tend to be more specialized to meet the needs of their audience. Sharing data in a closed AI tool is much more secure, though information leaks are still possible through data compromises - like malware and hacking.

Like squeezing toothpaste out of a tube, you cannot get data back once you input it into an Open AI tool. If you’re not sure whether something is safe to share with Open AI, it’s best to err on the side of caution.

When it doubt…leave it out!
