This week’s episode of The Key explores the recently announced partnership between Arizona State University and Open AI – one major way colleges and universities are trying to make sure higher education isn’t left behind in generative AI’s development.

The conversation that follows was drawn from a session last week at the Digital Universities U.S. conference that Inside Higher Ed put on with our partner Times Higher Education.

It features Lev Gonick, the enterprise chief information officer at Arizona State, talking with Inside Higher Ed editor Doug Lederman about the university’s goals in its partnership with Open AI, how ASU and other institutions hope to influence the development of generative AI, and how other colleges might be thinking about their own AI futures.

The Key is hosted by Inside Higher Ed Co-founder and Editor Doug Lederman. This episode is sponsored by Mongoose.
