The University of Oxford says it has become the first UK institution of its kind to offer access to the education version of artificial intelligence (AI) tool ChatGPT to all of its students and staff.
ChatGPT Edu, which has been specifically developed for educational use by OpenAI, will be made widely available to Oxford students following a successful trial over the past year.
The rollout is part of an ongoing five-year partnership between the institution and OpenAI, which was announced in March.
Prof Anne Trefethen, the university’s pro-vice-chancellor for digital, said the rollout marked an “exciting step in our ongoing process of digital transformation”.
“There is huge potential for us to harness this to accelerate high-impact, curiosity-led research and innovation, and to facilitate breakthroughs that could address major global challenges,” Prof Trefethen said.
