AU has also taken the lead in hosting the country's first ChatGPT international conference, as well as hosting 9 AI application workshops and the ChatGPT generative art forum on campus. The entire school will have 263 courses related to the application of this new technology, and ChatGPT will be integrated into most of the curriculum. The goal is to teach all instructors and students how to use ChatGPT properly and to make AI a useful tool for teaching and learning.
