It was all easier when an institution could decide to adopt MS Office for the basic needs of its students and staff, but with the pace of change in the AI arena is it really wise to hitch your wagon to ANY one horse? But here I am, trying to develop a plan to introduce AI into a core engineering course for graduating seniors, realizing after my own efforts that the β€˜free’ version of ChatGPT won’t do the job and not every student can spring $20/mo for a paid plan. I tell myself, β€œWait 3 months for the next gen.” It’s an interesting world to be immersed in.

It will be interesting to see what comes of this CSU initiative. As a retired professor from the CSU, I can say the campuses right now have a lot of talent throughout the state that likely have done some foundation building. The depth of the information on the Chancellor’s website re the AI initiative is glitzy for sure, but there is substance as well. My bet is this isn’t solely a publicity stunt or a bid to raise the stature of the place. The CSU system is capable of doing great things once it breaks the inertia. Thanks for bringing this forward. I hadn’t heard about. I’ll call some folks and get the scoop.
