Study In UK: Oxford, OpenAI Collaborate To Advance Research And Education

The University of Oxford has joined forces with the OpenAI to expand its artificial intelligence (AI) offering. They have entered a five-year collaboration to help students and faculty.

The University of Oxford has entered into a five-year partnership with OpenAI. This will benefit both the students and faculties as they will get enterprise-level security, research grant funding, and cutting-edge AI tools to boost learning, teaching and research.

Anne Trefethen, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Digital at the University of Oxford said, "This new collaboration marks an exciting step forward, offering fresh opportunities to enrich our research, expand our AI capabilities, and foster skill development. By working together, we can learn from one another, advancing the frontiers of artificial intelligence, understanding its impact on education and unlocking its vast potential for the benefit of our university community and beyond."

A pilot research project under the partnership will digitize public domain materials in Oxford University’s Bodleian Libraries. Once, it goes online, the Oxford collections will become available and searchable for students and researchers.

Richard Ovenden, Bodley’s Librarian and Head of Gardens, Libraries and Museums (GLAM) said, "The Bodleian’s mission is to acquire, preserve and make available knowledge for the benefit of our students, researchers and the wider public. Over the centuries we have constantly sought new ways to take this mission forward and have in more recent years been an innovator in the use of technology. This initiative with OpenAI comes as part of this long tradition, as part of our Future Bodleian initiative. The Future Bodleian campaign intends to expand digital resources and infrastructure to accommodate the needs of scholars across the world and to respond to the ever-changing nature of how information is created, stored and accessed."

Oxford researchers who work with OpenAI on collaborative projects will also get research grant funding from OpenAI’s NextGenAI initiative.

Professor Patrick Grant, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research said, "Artificial Intelligence (AI) is accelerating the pace of scientific discovery and enabling researchers to work with increasingly complex data sets. The University aims to be at the forefront of AI research and the application of AI for all researchers, by producing ground-breaking studies to help both scholars and society not only adapt to these technologies but also harness them wisely to their full potential."
