Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to explore the policy and legal underpinnings of the emerging use of AI in secured cloud environments for the transmission and storage of classified or sensitive research information in higher education institutions (HEIs). Using research security as a conceptual lens, we propose that universities will be increasingly required to adopt such secured exchanges for the protection of research data; not just from a good practice perspective, but also to protect privacy, intellectual property rights and meet any obligations under cybersecurity or critical infrastructure laws. Early adopters of the technology will benefit the most, with those institutions which do not adequately embed AI in the secured cloud offerings they uptake likely to be more vulnerable to internal and external threat actors.
