University of Houston, Google join on AI tools initiative
The University of Houston has partnered with Google to bring the search giant’s artificial intelligence tools to campus, The Cougar, the school’s paper, reported last week.
The university will reportedly make use of Google for Education, the company’s productivity suite, along with Gemini for Education and NotebookLM, the company’s AI tools designed for learning and research.
“Artificial intelligence is transforming how knowledge is created, applied and communicated,” Diane Z. Chase, the school’s senior vice president for academic affairs and provost said. “Our commitment ensures that our students — regardless of discipline — develop the fluency to use AI thoughtfully, ethically and strategically.”
The university urged professors to set clear guidelines on use of AI and to prepare for the addition of the tools. University of Houston is only the latest university to enter into such a partnership — many other institutions, including Ivy League schools have added AI to their offerings.
