California State University (CSU) hopes that AI will reconstruct higher education and states, so students, staff, and teachers have not spent personal expenses on the entire 23 campuses. Make it possible to use produced artificial intelligence technology such as Chatgpt.
According to a presentation at Sannose State University, CSU is a part of a new institution called AI Workforce Acceleration Board, aiming to train students with AI skills and enhance their career prospects. The panel includes CSU’s academic leader and the governor’s representative, and companies such as Microsoft, IBM, and artificial intelligence chip manufacturers NVIDIA.
“This Initiative will improve the experience of CSU students, enhance the success of students with future learning tools in the learning field, and will continue to prepare AI -led labor,” said Prime Minister MildRedgarcía. I mentioned.
The CSU staff said that the AI Labor Acceleration Committee aimed to guarantee that CSU students would be prepared for AI -related employment or graduate school when they got a degree. The Board also organizes events to challenge CSU students and teachers to use AI to deal with problems such as climate change and affordable housing prices.
In addition, CSU plans to promote the use of AI teachers in education and research. According to the announcement, the student is connected to the AI -related apprentice program.
The rise of artificial intelligence has caused optimistic predictions that this technology causes rapid innovation of higher education. It has the ability to automate scholarship tasks and scholars in a model that conducts studies and research for students to students and administrators. However, these bright visions are offset by the fear of AI eroding the value of the university’s degree, impairing the academic honesty of the research, and unauthorized in the classroom.
California leaders want to solidify their position as leaders in the development of production AI, and say that they need to educate more home -producing talents to work in this sector. 。 According to the 2019 report by the Georger Town University Security and Emerging Technology Center, more than half of the United States AI workers were born in other countries.
In 2023, Governor Gavin Newsam signed the state order to the state to study the AI effect on the labor force of California, and in August NVIDIA, based in Santa Clara, and AI certification in the community college. We have announced an agreement to provide a book program and workshop.
The focus of CSU to artificial intelligence occurs when the campus of the entire university system, especially the sluggish registration, is aiming to reduce costs prior to the expected state of budget reduction. Masu. Focusing on its financial reality, the CSU’s highest information, said that the Prime Minister’s office had allocated money from a single savings to provide funds to the initiative of AI. “The truth is fragmentary,” he said. “We do our best as much as possible with resources that can be used at once. We must do the same next year.”
Among the tools adopted by CSU, Openai’s Chatgpt Edu, a chatbot version that is already used in high -educational institutions such as Arizona State University and Pennsylvania University Wharton School. Unlike the free version of Chatgpt, Chatgpt Edu conversations remain in CSU and cannot be used for training Openai model. Data privacy is particularly concerned about data because users may want to analyze confidential or confidential information using ChatGpt.
Openai officials stated that the agreement with CSU represents “the biggest development of Chatgpt around the world.” Clark confirms that CSU has negotiated the transaction of Openai and the entire system to confirm that not only can you afford to buy enterprise access to Chatgpt, but also all campuses are available. I said.
The CSU spokeswoman will pay about $ 16.9 million for the lifetime of a partnership with Openai.
AI tools generated by other companies will be available for CSU affiliates, including functions in software already purchased by university systems, such as Microsoft Office and Zoom Video Conference. In addition, this system provides AI training modules to provide AI training modules and in charge of quick engineering, such as quick engineering, and to provide a method of using technology in a responsible way. I am planning. The training provided by NVIDIA can learn the work with the GPU, which is an electronic circuit used for training and deployment of AI models, so the company’s strategic initiative is included. LOUIS STEWART, the person in charge, said.
Clark said that the CSU staff had still decided on the final lineup of the board, but it was a member of the NEWSOM, Google Palent Company Alphabet, Amazon Web. , Linkedin, Openai We anticipate that the representative will be included. Clark said that CSU members include Elizabeth Boyd, Chairman of the Academic House of Science. Cynthia Teniente Matson, the president of Sannose State University. Chairman of IESE ESERA, CAL STATE STUDENT ASSOCIATION. And Clark himself.
The university accepts artificial intelligence technology, and some people are familiar with this field to specialize in policies on academic consistency to explain AI. I have knowledge.
CSU leaders have considered the effects of generated artificial intelligence on campus for several years, including the Senior Senate of the entire system. In June, the CSU Committee has announced a list of recommendations on how the university system should incorporate AI.
The California Teacher Association, which represents CSU employees, including professors, libraries, and coaches, is trying to add articles to CSU contracts for the use of AI. It is difficult or impossible to solve classrooms, personnel, or other issues, and otherwise it will adversely affect CFA members. Teacher unions outside the CSU have expressed relevant concerns.
