Harvard University is undergoing an AI revolution, with AI permeating every aspect of learning, research, and daily life, from students to professors. 87.5% of surveyed Harvard students use generative AI, with ChatGPT being particularly popular, as students utilize AI to assist in studying, including answering questions, writing papers, programming, and even reducing interaction time with teachers. However, the proliferation of AI has also raised concerns about fairness, career prospects, and the future status of humanity. In response to these challenges, Harvard is taking measures such as providing free access to AI, establishing usage guidelines, and offering courses.

Recently, artificial intelligence hardware has garnered significant attention in the startup sector, despite mixed reviews for early products like Rabbit and Humane. Amid this trend, a new AI device called 'Friend' has captured the interest of investors.

Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences has released a guide for the use of artificial intelligence in the classroom. The guide advises instructors to clearly communicate course policies and provides three different policy options. The college emphasizes the protection of data privacy and does not encourage the use of AI detection tools.
