OpenAI partners with Wharton for a new course focused on leveraging ChatGPT for teachers - Preston Fore & Jasmine Suarez, Fortune

Generative artificial intelligence is the elephant in the (class)room at schools nationwide. And while many students have largely caught on to its omnipresence, teachers are lagging behind. OpenAI, the parent of ChatGPT, is hoping to change the dynamic with a new partnership with one of the best business schools in the country. The goal is to empower educators to effectively bring generative AI into the classroom and maximize learning, says Leah Belsky, vice president and general manager of education at OpenAI. “Teachers and professors are an important node in both learning how they can transform pedagogy and transform the way people learn with AI,” says Belsky. The new class is co-taught by Lilach and Ethan Mollick of the University of Pennsylvania—who have dedicated their lives to AI education.
