The launch of the GPT store to everyone and this new ChatGPT Edu scheme demands governments regulate these marketplaces and companies set meaningful standards for what is allowed in these stores.

My interview on AI in higher education. Thanks to Sean for the great conversation.

Congrats to Emma on her first #AERA2024
