OpenAI is in the news again, and this time it’s for something positive.

OpenAI has announced its 1st partnership with a university to offer their full enterprise offerings to Arizona State University beginning in February 2024. The school “will have full access to ChatGPT Enterprise and plans to use it for coursework, tutoring, research and more.” according to an article on CNBC.

Arizona State University plans to build a personalized AI tutor for students, which will allow them to create AI avatars for help studying and to expand the university’s prompt engineering course.

Prompt Engineers is one of the newest careers to come out of the AI industry in the last year. 

McKinsey & Company defines Prompt Engineering “the practice of designing inputs for generative AI tools that will produce optimal outputs.”

Prompt Engineers make an average annual salary of $62,977 a year on the low-end according to ZipRecruiter, and in some cases up to $300,000 a year in cities like San Francisco and NYC.

According to McKinsey’s latest research, generative AI “could add up to $4.4 trillion annually to the global economy, across sectors from banking to life sciences.”

So I guess I know what I should tell my kids to study in college when they grow up.
