As generative artificial intelligence tools become available in productivity suites, higher education institutions have easy access to their features.
With generative artificial intelligence exploding in higher education, students, faculty and staff are eager to get their hands on these powerful tools. To meet the need, some IT teams are leveraging AI in the products they already have.
Experts see a potential win here for higher education, with schools “not needing to vet the tools and search out the best tools. They have tools available through what’s already been obtained by the institution,” says EDUCAUSE Senior Researcher Jenay Robert. For users who haven’t yet tried generative AI, “this will be perhaps an easy on-ramp to that exploration.”
