In Colorado, individual users include state employees and contractors working on behalf of the state. As OIT actively engages with educational, municipal and other state and national organizations to enhance resource knowledge we will update our guidance to state employees and contractors. Check back often, as this page will be continually updated as new information becomes available.
Requesting GenAI software
State employees and contractors should follow each agency's standard process for requesting any type of software or application, including GenAI tools. Below are some general guidelines:
- Follow your agency process for engaging with your OIT IT Director to submit any GenAI request. Note: IT Directors must be engaged for any GenAI request that is submitted.
- As with any technology, adhere to the statewide Acceptable Use Policy and follow GenAI best practices.
- Do not use GenAI on personal devices to circumvent state policies or safeguards.
- Do not use state credentials, such as your state-issued email address, when using a GenAI product for personal use.
