UL Lafayette plans to create a secure AI sandbox at the LITE Center to enable students, faculty, and local industry partners to experiment with open large language models like Meta’s Llama 3 locally. These local models mitigate security and privacy risks by ensuring that the data entered is not used to train public models.
