Iowa’s public universities are exploring the use of ChatGPT, an AI technology tool developed by OpenAI, in the classroom. ChatGPT is a natural language processing AI that generates human-like conversations and offers unique experiences to students. AI has been around for decades, but recent advancements have created new questions for higher education.
