“In September, the university announced that each of its students – more than 52,000 – would be given a personal AI assistant, adding to the school’s host of generative AI tools created in partnership with Microsoft.”
In September, the school gave personal AI assistants to the more than 50,000 students at the University of Michigan.
Does EULA or some other tacit agreement make students' inputs part of any training data?
Why not just give each student an AI avatar, then give each adjunct an AI avatar, and let the AIs talk to each other while the humans come and go, talking of Michelangelo?
"The university also announced that upon graduation each student would have a national park set ablaze in their name."
Pay as you go for each query? Just thinking of the actual instruction or tutoring that could pay for which would do much, much more...
“Six full-time employees work on UM’s AI, which operates on a ‘pay-as-you-go’ model, where the university is billed for each query made using the platform.” 😬
“Auto-Tutors” ;) Tracking a lot of these AI assistant threads the next few years… very curious how this turns out. Kids haven’t found a gold mine of value out of Khanmigo so far, but it has gotten a lot better rapidly.
Wondering at the terms to learn from uploaded data and student interactions. They are currently paying experts to get GenAI over gaps on training data. Here is a college paying for the privilege of feeding students to Microsoft. Please persuade me otherwise
