University of Colorado Boulder professors are raising concerns about the school's contract with OpenAI to provide ChatGPT to all students. The deal has been met with concern about the ethics of artificial intelligence and its environmental impact, and potential effects on student learning and mental health. Faculty members believe they were not adequately consulted before the deal was finalized. The university estimates roughly 30,000 students and staff already use ChatGpt, and there are concerns that it may be overstating how widely students use large language models.
