- OpenAI announced a new product within ChatGPT called “study mode” to help students work through problems step by step.
- Study mode is available to Free, Plus, Pro and Team users, and it’s coming to ChatGPT Edu in the next few weeks.
- OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who dropped out of Stanford University, has said his young child will “probably not” go to college.
On Tuesday, OpenAI unveiled “study mode,” a new feature in ChatGPT that attempts to assist students in working through issues step-by-step before coming up with a solution.

When ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence chatbots became widely used, teachers soon realized that students might use them to cheat and avoid using critical thinking skills. According to OpenAI, the development of study mode was “a first step in a longer journey to improve learning in ChatGPT.”
During a briefing, Leah Belsky, vice president of education at OpenAI, stated that “ChatGPT can significantly improve academic performance when prompted to teach or tutor.” “But when it’s just used as an answer machine, it can hinder learning.”

According to OpenAI, one in three college-age individuals currently use ChatGPT, therefore the business created study mode with this group in mind. As they work through homework difficulties, test preparation, and new topic material, students using the program will be presented with guided questions rather than direct answers, according to the company.
A prerecorded demonstration of how a student could utilize study mode to get assistance with a homework assignment was made public by OpenAI. The student completes two steps after submitting the question, then ChatGPT asks them to summarize the response in their own words.

Students that participate in its ChatGPT Lab, where groups of college students describe how they are using OpenAI’s tools, professors, scientists, and education specialists collaborated to create study mode, according to OpenAI.
Days after OpenAI CEO Sam Altman hinted that artificial intelligence (AI) would fundamentally alter education in the future, the company announced its study mode. Altman said his little child will “probably not” attend college. Altman left Stanford University.
According to Altman, “I already think college is maybe not working great for most people,” in an interview with the podcast “This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von.” “I think, fast forward 18 years, it’s going to look like a very, very different thing.”
OpenAI has continued to collaborate extensively with academic institutions despite this. Last year, the business unveiled ChatGPT Edu, a customized chatbot designed for academic institutions.
Study mode will be added to ChatGPT Edu in the following weeks, according to OpenAI, although it will be accessible to Free, Plus, Pro, and Team users starting on Tuesday.
