Miami Dade’s investment is notable for its addition to the institution’s curriculum, but it pales in comparison to other colleges and universities. For example, New York State’s University at Albany system’s $200 million “AI Plus” initiative is researching and embedding the technology in courses from philosophy to weather prediction. Indiana University has poured a $60 million donation into a dedicated AI research center and even Chat GPT is embracing legitimate relationships with higher education. It announced last week that it will be what it says is the first collaboration OpenAI and a major university, in this case Arizona State. The collaboration will formalize the use of ChatGPT Enterprise to the university, “empowering” faculty and staff to explore generative AI to enhance teaching and research without compromising privacy and security.
