As AI continues to shape how we teach, learn, and work, The University of Texas at Austin is expanding access to powerful, secure AI tools across campus. Behind this effort is the AI Studio, a dedicated team within Enterprise Technology that makes AI tools available, supports their use, and helps the UT community apply AI to real-world challenges.

What is AI Studio?

AI Studio is Enterprise Technology’s centralized team for delivering, managing, and supporting artificial intelligence tools and services for the UT Austin community.

The team enables students, faculty, and staff to access university-supported AI technologies—such as Microsoft 365 Copilot, Claude, and ChatGPT—while ensuring secure, scalable, and well-governed implementation across campus.
