OpenAI has announced that university students in the United States and Canada can now access ChatGPT Plus for free, a service that typically costs $20 per month, until the end of May, totaling a two-month period. Leah Belsky, OpenAI’s Vice President of Education, emphasized that students in this era are under pressure to quickly adapt to various challenges, solve increasingly complex problems, and integrate AI into their workflow. By supporting AI tools, students can enhance their learning experience and improve their knowledge exploration.
The key point to note is that OpenAI made this announcement less than 24 hours after Anthropic launched Claude for Education for university users. This move could be seen as a strategic competition for users in the higher education sector.
