Deploying Custom AIs for Research Online

Learn how to take control of your AI tools by deploying and customizing models for your own research environment. This session introduces platforms such as Ollama and LM Studio for running large language models locally, offering enhanced privacy, speed, and flexibility. It will also explore how Microsoft Copilot and similar platforms allow researchers to configure tailored AI agents for specialized academic or administrative tasks. Participants will leave with practical strategies for maintaining secure, adaptive AI systems that align with research goals and data ethics standards. By Evan Fruehauf, USF Libraries.
