Hofstra University has taken a significant step in supporting AI usage for its students. In September, Hofstra President Susan Poser announced that the university would enter into a campus-wide license agreement with the educational generative AI program ChatGPT Edu, owned by its parent company, OpenAI. “We’re providing ChatGPT Edu to everyone at Hofstra so that we can develop the community’s skills – particularly students’ ability to use generative AI,” Kase said. He added that if a student does not want to use the AI program, they can communicate with their teacher. Access to the program is completely free of charge to the Hofstra community.
