I am a grants manager in my department. My epidemiologists use AI such as perplexity and that use is valuable for their research. I have no problem with that. It is my lab staff that came to me after the PI told her that she can get reimbursed for months of Chatgpt and charge it to her R01. I dont believe that this is appropriate. I have not been sent the details of her subsciption but I especially do not think it is appropriate if the email is not our institutions email. There is absolutely no way to distingquish whether her use is personal.

Thoughts?
