That’s it. Any advice?

The other day, I asked CoPilot something related to my career progression, and the output addressed me by name and knew what type of contract I am currently employed on, which I found quite scary. I know that we aren't supposed to upload student names and other sensitive data to GenAI, so the university seems to have some data privacy concerns there, but at the same time, if the university-provided (and, I am assuming, approved) tool can access my files and emails and browser, I would assume it can access all that data anyway. What happens to this data, what happens to the questions I ask, the input I provide? Can anyone see all of it directly, does it somehow become part of the training data, ...? I am concerned!

A student approached me and asked whether they could connect Claude to Canvas, as they are used to studying with Claude and this would allow them to not change their habits. I don't know what that would look like in detail, but to me it appears that it is going too far?

What does it mean when a thesis supervisor says "You can use GenAI to polish the text, but not for anything else". What are the limits of polishing?

There are great AI tools out there these days that generate podcasts from any document you upload or link to. I am considering doing that for my course, since students aren’t reading textbooks anymore (let alone scientific articles), so I was thinking that if I gave them a podcast, that might get them to engage with the ideas and concepts. What are the pros and cons?

I just read a student essay and I am pretty sure that it is AI generated, but I don’t have proof. I know that AI detection software does not work, but I feel like I cannot let students get away with stuff like this!

I have implemented an exercise in my course where students generate AI responses to a question and then critique it, with the goal of showing them that they cannot trust AI outputs. But when I gave that task two weeks ago, two students refused to do it, quoting environmental concerns. I myself am also worried about the environmental impact of AI, too, but that is just my gut feeling and not based on any data. Can you help?
