Description

ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, is an advanced AI-powered chatbot that can help you synthesize information, summarize complex topics, conduct research, and generate new content, including text, code, and images. Use it to enhance your writing, brainstorming, studying, problem-solving, and more.

Faculty and staff can purchase ChatGPT Edu licenses through the university's software catalog. 

ChatGPT Edu offers:

  • FERPA-compliance – ChatGPT Edu is the only licensing option that meets FERPA requirements.
  • Simplified billing – CMU community members will pay for licenses using an Oracle string.

If you choose to set up a Free, Plus, Pro, or Teams account, only enter information that you would share publicly online. Open AI may retain your prompt and responses to train its AI models.
