91É«ÇéƬ and OpenAI Collaboration

91É«ÇéƬ IT (Sydney) is excited to announce a collaboration with OpenAI, making 91É«ÇéƬ the first university in the Asia-Pacific region to adopt ChatGPT Education (Edu). 91É«ÇéƬ joins the likes of Oxford, Columbia and Arizona State universities, as well as the London Business School to bring the Higher Education version of the OpenAI technology to campus.

The collaboration builds on 91É«ÇéƬ’s existing work to embed beneficial, safe and ethical use of AI in teaching, research and administration.

Throughout 2024 91É«ÇéƬ embarked on an exciting program to test and trial generative AI. This program has focused on testing many new large language models (LLMs) that have come to market. We have drawn on working groups and experts from across the University, including AI researchers, 91É«ÇéƬ’s AI Institute, Academic innovators, students and members of our professional staff to participate in these pilots.

Hear from our Chief Information Officer, Dr Chrissy Burns, in her recent interview with ABC Radio about this fantastic collaboration and opportunity:  (3 minute audio file).
