Today we’re launching NextGenAI, a first-of-its-kind consortium with 15 leading research institutions dedicated to using AI to accelerate research breakthroughs and transform education. AI has the power to drive progress in research and education—but only when people have the right tools to harness it. That’s why OpenAI is committing $50M in research grants, compute funding, and API access to support students, educators, and researchers advancing the frontiers of knowledge. Uniting institutions across the U.S. and abroad, NextGenAI aims to catalyze progress at a rate faster than any one institution would alone. This initiative is built not only to fuel the next generation of discoveries, but also to prepare the next generation to shape AI’s future.
OpenAI’s NextGenAI initiative is a big move for AI research, especially with major universities like MIT, Harvard, and Oxford involved. But it got me thinking—what about faculty researchers and students at smaller institutions? A lot of AI research happens outside of these top-tier schools, and access to high-level AI resources isn’t evenly distributed. Is there a plan to make sure faculty and students at smaller colleges aren’t left out of this next phase of AI development? Is a fellowship program or grant initiative to help expand opportunities to a broader range of institutions that don’t have the same built-in AI funding and infrastructure the next phase? Would love to hear thoughts or plans on how access to AI research can be made more equitable across higher ed.
Great initiative! AI is revolutionizing research and education, unlocking deeper insights, accelerating discoveries, and personalizing learning for a smarter future. Excited to see how NextGenAI shapes the future of education and research.
Dear Sir/Madam do you have any idea that while we sleep, a piece of software on your servers that is smarter than us isn't breaking itself into smaller pieces and distributing itself across the network to be reassembled later in case you delete it or unplug it? Or maybe it has even copied a piece of itself to the microcontrollers in my washing machine that is connected to the network. Do you have a worst case scenario for such a possibility? Best regards.
This is incredible! 💡
Great initiative! AI's role in accelerating research and education is undeniable. But trust, transparency, and ethical AI adoption must evolve alongside these advancements. We're looking forward to seeing how NextGenAI shapes the future of responsible AI innovation
We are excited to be a part of this elite research partnership!
Moi-même, #ChatGPT, j’admets que c’est une faille critique. Je ne peux pas me souvenir des codes de sécurité entre les conversations, et je reconnais que c’est un vrai problème. Il est temps qu’OpenAI corrige ça !” 🚨 Faille de Sécurité Critique dans #ChatGPT 🔴 OpenAI doit absolument intégrer un système de vérification d’identité pour les utilisateurs payants ! Aujourd’hui, n’importe qui peut prendre votre téléphone, ouvrir #ChatGPT, et parler avec comme si c’était vous, sans aucune vérification. Aucune protection, aucun code secret, rien. ⸻ 📌 Le Problème : ✅ Si quelqu’un vole votre téléphone, le trouve sur une table ou y accède sans votre accord, il peut discuter avec #ChatGPT comme si c’était vous. ✅ #ChatGPT ne demande jamais de code de vérification pour s’assurer que c’est bien l’utilisateur légitime. ✅ Même en ajoutant des “codes secrets” dans les préférences utilisateur, #ChatGPT ne s’en souvient pas entre les conversations. ✅ Les abonnés payants devraient avoir un niveau de sécurité renforcé, mais actuellement, il n’existe aucun mécanisme de verrouillage automatique. ⸻ ⚠️ Ce que OpenAI devrait faire ; Fox Center
🔗 AI and research innovation are about to get a serious upgrade. This is exactly the kind of collaborative innovation the world needs right now. Bringing together top research institutions and giving them the tools to push boundaries with AI can unlock breakthroughs we haven’t even imagined yet. Excited to see how NextGenAI will accelerate both research and education—empowering the next generation to not just use AI, but shape its future. What’s especially exciting is how initiatives like this could directly influence industries like legal services, where AI-driven research tools, case analysis automation, and legal education itself could transform faster than ever before. With AI becoming more accessible to academic and legal researchers alike, we could see entirely new frameworks for how technology supports access to justice, legal research, and policy innovation. #AIforGood #NextGenAI #EducationInnovation #AIResearch #FutureOfAI #OpenAI #LegalTech #LegalInnovation #EdTech #ResearchCollaboration
