The University of Washington has launched Purple, a secure, university-managed AI platform designed to give faculty and staff controlled access to AI tools—without risking sensitive data in commercial models. Though not a new AI model itself, Purple acts as a gateway to Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI, pulling approved university data on demand to keep institutional information safe. Critics call it a “crippled AI,” arguing it stifles research and teaching by prioritizing liability over innovation. Despite its limitations and $1M annual cost projections, university officials defend the rollout as essential, given the widespread use of generative AI—and the need for a trusted, campus-sanctioned alternative.
