6 +* Furthermore no REMC1 org data is to be fed into any employee’s personal gemini free access or anyone else’s Gemini instance (outside REMC1’s licensed FERPA safe enabled Gemini). Gemini free is currently disabled in [[remc1.org>>url:http://remc1.org||shape="rect"]] and can only be enabled if you have a license to utilize Gemini along with group membership (see below/next section).
7 +* The free version sifts through all your email and documents sucking the data into its public database.
8 +* Create a burner personal account if you want to use Google Gemini. Dont use it with your normal Google Email either unless you want it to suck all your emails and drive documents into the public database (including banking, HIPAA, FERPA, PII info etc..) everything then have it cranked out to other public who ask gemini questions. There are people/bad actors who craft questions to try and reveal/pull this info back out etc.. Its an identity theft attack vector.
9 +* Here is the REMC1 official template response to Gemini requests - Accurate as of May 2024. Inquiry pending to Google for Ed licensing.

7 -* AI products can be incredible tools when individuals understand the privacy risks and considerations
8 -* Most (all?) Free AI tools (exceptions: Google Gemini for Education and other FERPA compliant AI tools) take any information and questions you feed into it and add that data to their public AI database to allow it to improve its future responses
9 -** It's possible that the data you feed in could come back out to another individual in part or in whole (although rare)
10 -** Your data goes into a database (public in many cases) owned by the AI company
11 -** Is your data being sold?
12 -** What happens with the data if the company goes out of business or gets hacked?
13 -** Use AI products safely (see bullets below)

14 +* June 2024: We have three Gemini licenses all assigned to Josh, Steve, Hayley
15 +* Currently its enabled via a security group called GeminiEnable
16 +* This group is setup through the admin console NOT [[groups.google.com>>url:http://groups.google.com||shape="rect"]]. You cannot use a [[groups.google.com>>url:http://groups.google.com||shape="rect"]] group to control services it has to be added in the admin console (as of June 2024 -JDH)
17 +* Here are the steps utilized to enable. ALSO… I went to admin->clicked on the apps waffle->Gemini->User Access (right hand square pane)->Groups section (middle left pane, click on the arrow by groups), Now select GeminiEnable, Now notice this is where I enforce the setting to ONLY ALLOW USERS WITH A GEMINI LICENSE. This way if someone gets happy and adds more individuals WITHOUT licensing they still wont be able to enable Gemini and feed all remc data into the public engine.
18 +* Ok Here are the steps utilized to enable the service via the GeminiEnable group
19 +* For this step, you need admin privileges for Groups, Organizational Units (top-level), and Service Settings. Learn more about [[Administrator privilege definitions>>url:https://support.google.com/a/answer/1219251||shape="rect"]].

17 -* Always assess if the product is FERPA/COPPA Compliant especially if educators plan on utilizing an AI tool with students. Most also limit their use to 18 and over (some 13 and over) in their terms of service due to privacy and regulatory facts
18 -* Always sanitize data (remove any Personally Identifiable Information/PII and FERPA information, banking/financial information etc.) before submission to any AI products
19 -* Never submit student pictures to AI products that have not been approved by parents
20 -* Never link your district Google (or any accounts) to AI products without fully understanding what you are sharing from your account (for instance the free/personal/NON Educational version of Google Gemini can suck in your emails and google docs into its public learning model and also has human reviewers that can review your submitted questions and data for enhancing their AI model. Other products can have similar privacy considerations)
21 -* FERPA: [[https:~~/~~/www2.ed.gov/ferpa>>url:https://www2.ed.gov/ferpa||shape="rect"]]
22 -* COPPA (limits data collection for kids under 13 and other restrictions): [[https:~~/~~/www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/rules/childrens-online-privacy-protection-rule-coppa>>url:https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/rules/childrens-online-privacy-protection-rule-coppa||data-card-appearance="inline" shape="rect"]]

42 -* REMC1 can assist with obtaining quotes for the NOT-FREE options from the REMCSave Vendor for Google. Just send an email to support@remc1.net
43 -* **ALL TIERS FOR GOOGLE EDUCATION OR ENTERPRISE NOW OFFER DATA PROTECTION** (FERPA)
44 -* **Gemini (chat experience - free):**
45 -** **There is a limit on how many prompts you can input** into the tool. The free tier offers a limit/can have a limit **of 2 requests per minute (RPM) and 50 requests per day (RPD)​** depending on what free tier AI model you use (1.5 Pro vs 1.5 flash) but both tiers have limits and also have less comprehensive response possibilities/less complex questions can be answered in some cases.
46 -** **The free tier is the chat experience** at [[https:~~/~~/gemini.google.com>>url:https://gemini.google.com||shape="rect"]], meaning users are able to insert questions or prompts; e.g. "create a lesson plan for my 3rd grade history class on US presidents" ~-~- it will then create an outline of what you've asked it to do.
47 -** //**The main difference with the chat experience vs. the paid licenses is that this does NOT integrate with Workspace**//. The other licenses have Gemini built into Docs, Sheets, Meets, Slides, Gmail and Drive. So it's capable of performing more actions within the suite of Google tools.
48 -** **The Free version also uses a “lesser” model**/yesterdays model that may or may not give the BEST or most COMPREHENSIVE answer as compared to the larger paid model. The lessor models are Gemini 1.5 Flash and 1.5 Pro Free tier.
49 -** **The free tier has no Google Meet AI options**
50 -*** cant summarize google meets/take notes
51 -*** cant use AI closed captioning and translation
52 -*** cant use AI generated backgrounds
53 -*** cant use AI audio enhancements (noise reduction, multiple presenter microphones simultaneously active)).
54 -* **Gemini Education: (Around 12/mo per license): **Paid license for 18+ users. Limits on # of uses per month (hundreds of uses/month limit).** Integrates with Workspace **products. Offers 'Gems' (custom AI expert for any topic).
55 -* **Gemini Education Premium:** **(around 20/month per license): **Paid licenses for 18+ users. **No limits on usage. Integrates with Workspace products, also has Gems and data protection. **Advanced Meet capabilities are also available where you can have Gemini take notes for you in a meeting, or attend a meeting on your behalf if you're not able to attend. (Gemini Meets is kind of beta at the moment but improving quickly).

61 -* This is for the personal free Gemini version or the NON-Ed Workspace free Gemini only
62 -* The free version sifts through all your email and documents/sheets/slides sucking the data into its public database
63 -* **The free public/non-enterprise/educational version CAN HAVE HUMAN REVIEWERS** actively looking at data and prompts you input or that Gemini ingests
64 -* Create a burner personal account if you want to use Google Gemini.
