A slew of edtech companies — edX and Coursera — have announced plans to incorporate generative AI into their products.

Online learning platform edX and its parent company 2U reached a combined total of 73 million people in 2022, according to a new report.

The online learning firm edX introduced two new tools powered by ChatGPT, the "first of many innovations" in generative AI for the platform.

Harvard and MIT plan to boost college access and completion for learners historically left behind using proceeds from the sale of edX to 2U.

After a summer of layoffs and budget cuts, the online learning company 2U shared a more upbeat outlook in its third quarter earnings call.

Online learning company 2U plans to refocus its business around edX, the former rival it purchased last year for $800 million.

The combined company will keep its free offerings and offer more university degrees online to benefit international students and nontraditional American learners, the founders said.

The online course platform EdX, founded by MIT and Harvard in 2012, is set to become 2U's public benefit arm.

Online and in-person learning will be equally employed when the pandemic lifts, EdX CEO Anant Agarwal said during an online event.

And, according to a recent survey conducted by edX, many of them are reluctant to ask their employers for help.
