Leah Belsky, Vice President of Education at OpenAI, joins Unfixed for a wide-ranging conversation about AI, higher education, and the future of learning. We discuss why OpenAI is investing so heavily in universities, what the company has learned from partnerships like the California State University system, and how it responds to faculty concerns about academic integrity, sustainability, and the role of AI in education. We also explore ChatGPT Study Mode, the changing relationship between higher education and the labor market, and what colleges should look like in an era of AI. Whether you're enthusiastic, skeptical, or somewhere in between, this conversation offers a thoughtful look at one of the most influential voices shaping AI in education.
