OpenAI has successfully carved out a prominent niche for itself in a multitude of universities throughout the United States. It has managed to dispel the initial apprehensions that university administrations had about artificial intelligence (AI), and has secured an early foothold in the competition to become the go-to workplace assistant of the next generation. Based on procurement records, OpenAI has marketed and sold over 700,000 ChatGPT licenses to around 35 public universities, enabling both faculty members and students to utilize this innovative tool. On a global scale, the total number of ChatGPT licenses that OpenAI has sold to universities has surpassed the one million mark by a substantial margin.
