Our 2 year goal, by the end of AY 24-25, is to produce GAI-enabled course structure across the introductory STEM curriculum.
The tools should be agnostic to the textbook(s) used in the course, and should be implementable with a minimal time investment in courses nationwide.
Initial backend is likely to be ChatGPT, currently at version 4, but we should strive to build an architecture that can evolve and adapt to new and better and different tools. We need to have an overall architecture philosophy evolve with our development spirals.

June 16 kickoff with HUIT and Bok:
David J. Malan to Everyone (Jun 16, 2023, 9:01 AM)
Here's a recording of GitHub Copilot "solving" via tab-completion, essentially, one of CS50's first problem sets, https://youtu.be/W2BmQuBMOD4. And one of our last, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veON9rxhJl0.
Thanks so much, all. Happy to connect anytime, malan@harvard.edu.

Sharing a few things that others may find potentially interesting:
1.) Video of a voice interaction with OpenAI over custom data: http://tmp.vpetkov.net/ask-hr-audio.mp4
2.) Video of what a more natural “neural net” voice sounds like — this is not a real person: http://tmp.vpetkov.net/voice-readout.mp4
3.) An OpenAI presentation that talks about the tokenization/other challenges with using OpenAI directly (compared to LangChains for example): https://files.vpetkov.net/talks/OpenAI.pptx
#2 is Eleven Labs that Dave mentioned - without training from a real person/not cloning someone’s voice (using a default model)

Would it be possible to ingest the entire contents of a Canvas course, i.e. all of the PDFs, every page, all the videos, discussion questions, announcements etc.
