OpenAI has sold more than 700,000 ChatGPT licenses to about 35 public universities for use by students and faculty, Bloomberg’s Brody Ford and Liam Knox report. Students and faculty used ChatGPT more than 14 million times in September, with each user calling on it 176 times that month for help with tasks such as writing, research and data analysis, according to the report, which adds that OpenAI has sold “well over a million” licenses to colleges globally, with schools willing to purchase bulk access to ChatGPT paying a few dollars per user per month. Meanwhile, Microsoft (MSFT), which typically bundles its Copilot assistant with existing software, has experienced more “measured” uptake of its AI tool at these schools, Ford and Knox write.
