The AI push
In an effort to promote the safer integration of AI into everyday life, OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, recently launched an initiative to expand its services in the education sector.
ChatGPT Edu — an AI large language model tailored for university use — offers students, faculty members, researchers and campus operations access to “enterprise-level security and controls [...] for educational institutions.”
The University of Oxford, the Wharton School, the University of Texas at Austin, Arizona State University and Columbia University were cited as using the university-level tool and service.
