Procurement

• A published feature comparison of six AI platforms, including licensing cost

  UW-Green Bay publishes a comparison of ChatGPT Business, Claude Team, Gemini for Education, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Chat and Copilot Studio, covering model access, file support, integrations, compliance and licensing costs. Comparing six platforms in public, with cost included, is rare and directly reusable: a Brown County organisation choosing between the same products can start from an assessment somebody else already paid to do.

• Five AI services provided free university-wide

  Google Gemini, Microsoft 365 Copilot, NotebookLM, the WebEx AI Assistant and Zoom AI Companion are provided at no cost across the institution, with AWS Bedrock, Google Cloud and Azure AI services available on an enterprise or pay-as-you-go basis. Providing a free tier centrally is what stops staff signing up individually with institutional data, which is the failure mode a Brown County employer should be most worried about.

Training

• A growing hub of AI training materials

  The university maintains a central hub of AI training sessions and instructional content, described as growing over time. Publishing training through the IT service desk rather than a marketing page is a small sign it is meant to be used, and it is openly readable from Brown County without an account.

• Departmental restrictions layered on top of the institutional rules

  Individual units may impose their own AI restrictions above the university baseline, and employees are required to comply with both. Allowing a department closer to sensitive work to be stricter than the centre is a sensible structure, and it is the one a Brown County body with a mix of statutory and ordinary functions will need.

Government

• AI policies and applications documented alongside the tools

  The same knowledge base carries the institutional AI policies and articles on how AI is actually deployed at the university, next to the tool comparison. Keeping the rules in the same place as the tools is the arrangement most likely to be read, which is a lesson a Brown County employer can take without any of the content.

• A three-tier data classification governing what may be typed into AI

  UW-Madison ties AI permission to data classification: public and internal data is approved for most tools, sensitive data requires cybersecurity evaluation before AWS or Azure services may be used, and restricted data requires evaluation with secure Zoom accounts handling HIPAA material. The instruction is blunt — never enter sensitive or restricted information such as student records, health data or unpublished research into unvetted AI services — and it is the single clearest rule a Brown County organisation could copy.

• Wisconsin Executive Order 211 — Task Force on Workforce and Artificial Intelligence

  Signed 23 August 2023, the order creates a task force focused specifically on workforce consequences rather than on state AI adoption. That emphasis makes it the more relevant state instrument for Brown County employers, whose exposure is far more likely to be labour-related than procurement-related.

Organization

• Compliance treated as a selection criterion

  Compliance is one of the named dimensions in the platform comparison, sitting alongside model access and cost. Treating compliance as a selection criterion rather than a later obstacle is the sequence that saves money, and for a Brown County body with records duties it is the criterion that should rank first.

• A CISO statement on the use of generative AI

  Chief Information Security Officer Jeffrey Savoy has published a statement on the use of generative AI, alongside unit-specific departmental restrictions that employees must comply with. A named security officer putting a position in writing is what gives the rest of the guidance weight, and it is a document a Brown County organisation can point its own board at.
