AI has been in use in higher education for some time, but generative AI has emerged as a technology that is creating increased concern across the campus. Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer, commonly called ChatGPT, is a chatbot launched by OpenAI in November 2022 that has exploded across the education sector. Learn more about AI on campus.
