The University of Utah last week launched OpenAI's ChatGPT Edu - a version of the AI tool specifically designed for higher education and securely deployed for university use - across its campus community. Parashar said he sees the rollout impacting many aspects of what students, staff and faculty do at the U. "I think people will be very creative in how they use it in whatever they do. The idea here is to help them amplify (and) accelerate what they do. Whether they are students using it to aid their educational processes, professors using it to help them teach, administrators using it to be able to automate a lot of the processes that they have and their workflows, (or) researchers using it to do research to be able to complement other tools that they use in exploring literature or doing things like that," Parashar said.
