Princeton students, faculty divided over access to University ChatGPT accounts

On Wednesday, the University announced in an email sent to all faculty and staff that they would be providing all students, faculty, and staff access to ChatGPT Plus or Pro. Students and faculty who spoke with The Daily Princetonian are divided over the University’s decision, with some expressing concerns around academic integrity and others viewing the decision as keeping pace with rapid technological change. The one-year pilot program with OpenAI will allow students to request access to ChatGPT Plus in January, before the spring semester starts. Faculty and staff were able to request access starting Wednesday. Before accessing their ChatGPT Plus accounts, students will be required to complete an online Foundations of AI Literacy course, according to the Office of Information Technology’s FAQ page.
