OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has launched applications for the next round of its ChatGPT Lab for Students in the United States and Canada. The initiative brings small groups of undergraduates into weekly discussions where they exchange ways of using ChatGPT for study, career, and everyday tasks. The program, which runs about the length of a semester, is designed to give students exposure to peer learning and direct input into how OpenAI develops its tools. In turn, OpenAI uses the feedback to refine ChatGPT features for a global student audience. The Lab is divided into two parts. The onboarding period runs from October 15 to November 14, with two hours per week dedicated to workshops. During this time, students present how they and their peers use ChatGPT, and the group consolidates findings in a capstone session.
