They became the first in this field
ChatGPT and other similar chatbots have already greatly influenced the educational segment, and this influence will only grow in the future. Arizona State University decided not to go against the grain and entered into a partnership with OpenAI.
It is worth saying that this is the first collaboration of its kind between OpenAI and any educational institution. As part of this cooperation, starting in February, the university will have full access to ChatGPT Enterprise and plans to use it for various educational processes, from teaching and conducting various research to writing coursework.
The university wants to create a personalized virtual mentor for students. First of all, of course, this applies to technical specialties (STEM). But there are plans in other directions. For example, AI avatars of students will be created to study certain subjects. In addition, they will be taught to write poetry on biology.
