Artificial intelligence technology is being integrated into higher education at an unprecedented rate. Faced with the concerns of educators and administrators about AI applications, Arizona State University chose to actively embrace change and announced its cooperation with OpenAI. This is a bold and forward-looking attempt. This collaboration aims to make full use of OpenAI's advanced generative artificial intelligence technologies, such as ChatGPT and DALL-E, to enhance students' learning experience, promote innovative research, and optimize the school's administrative management processes. This marks a landmark step in the application of artificial intelligence in higher education, and its impact deserves our continued attention and in-depth discussion.
Despite concerns from educators and administrators, artificial intelligence is already making its way into higher education. Arizona State University announces a partnership with OpenAI, a leading generative artificial intelligence company that develops technologies such as ChatGPT and DALL-E, in a one-of-a-kind collaboration to apply OpenAI’s technology to ASU’s institutional processes middle. The collaboration focuses on improving student academic success, conducting innovative research and optimizing organizational processes. Arizona State University plans to provide full access to the enterprise version of ChatGPT to all teachers and students at the school in 2024.
The collaboration between Arizona State University and OpenAI sets a new benchmark for the application of artificial intelligence in higher education. In the future, there will be more and more similar cooperation models, and artificial intelligence will continue to profoundly change the models and methods of education. This not only requires educators to actively adapt and learn, but also requires joint efforts from all sectors of society to ensure that the application of artificial intelligence in education can better serve students and teachers and promote educational equity and high-quality development.
