Description

Arizona State University was the first university to collaborate with OpenAI (January 2024) and launched an AI Innovation Challenge inviting faculty and staff to propose uses of ChatGPT; over 500 projects have been activated, from a language-learning study buddy to an AI patient for behavioural-health practice.
From 1 October 2025 ChatGPT Edu (GPT-5) is available at no individual cost to all ASU students, faculty, researchers and staff, alongside Google Gemini for Education, Microsoft Copilot Chat and ASU's in-house CreateAI toolkit. An enterprise agreement keeps conversations and files out of OpenAI model training.
Evidence is descriptive: project counts and access figures are reported by ASU, with no published measurement of learning outcomes, and dependence on a single vendor is a risk.
