OpenAI Releases New ChatGPT Edu For Universities

Inside Higher Ed, New ChatGPT Version Aiming at Higher Ed:

OpenAI unveiled a new version of ChatGPT focused on universities on Thursday, building on work with a handful of higher education institutions that partnered with the tech giant.

The ChatGPT Edu product, expected to start rolling out this summer, is a platform for institutions intended to give students free access. OpenAI said the artificial intelligence (AI) toolset could be used for an array of education applications, including tutoring, writing grant applications and reviewing résumés.

Addressing concerns about privacy and user data, OpenAI said the Edu platform allows for the creation of personalized large language models to power the AI tools, instead of using the publicly available ChatGPT. An OpenAI spokesperson also told Inside Higher Ed that ChatGPT Edu conversations and data are not used to train OpenAI models.
