Generative AI (GenAI) has emerged and is developing far more rapidly than expected. How should universities prepare for the impact that may not be anticipated? ChatGPT launched just one year ago on November 30, 2022. Since that date, with the infusion of tens of billions of dollars, tech companies around the world have launched multiple alternative versions of GenAI bots and applications using a variety of Large Language Models. The applications are many and the user base is surging daily. Clara Shih, CEO of Salesforce AI, says “In my career, I’ve never seen a technology get adopted this fast. Now, for AI to truly transform how people live and work, organizations must develop AI that is rooted in trust, and easily accessible for everyone to do more enjoyable, productive work.” Salesforce AI released results of a snapshot poll in September.
