The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) announced an agreement with OpenAI to deploy a tailored version of ChatGPT Enterprise to its students, faculty, researchers, and administrative staff this month.

The institution noted that more universities in the University of California system could adopt this approach.

Lucy Avetisyan, UCLA’s Associate Vice Chancellor and Chief Information Officer, announced in a press release that this fall, the institution will solicit project ideas to boost student success, research efforts, and institutional effectiveness and efficiency.

OpenAI Chief Operating Officer Brad Lightcap said, “We look forward to working closely with UCLA to find the best ways for ChatGPT to support a rich learning experience and cutting-edge research.”

UCLA Chief AI Officer Chris Mattmann explained that AI can customize learning and practice materials, schedule appointments, and maintain calendars.
