Announcing the OpenAI Learning Accelerator

今天，OpenAI 宣布推出“OpenAI 学习加速器”，这是一个以印度为首发的项目，旨在通过人工智能研究、培训和应用，将先进的 AI 技术带给印度的教育工作者和全国数百万学习者。

ChatGPT 现已成为全球最广泛使用的学习工具之一。在印度，这一点尤为明显——印度拥有全球最大的 ChatGPT 学生用户群，数以百万计的学生利用它完成作业、备考和探索新想法。

ChatGPT 在学习中的流行也带来了新的挑战：如何确保 AI 能加深而非简化学习过程？如何帮助学生在答案即时可得的情况下培养批判性思维能力？OpenAI 学习加速器旨在应对这些挑战，赋能教育者和学习者，确保 AI 强化学习、支持教师，并满足印度教育体系的独特需求。

赋能教育者和机构，提供 AI 工具与培训

该项目的核心是与领先机构的合作，包括印度理工学院马德拉斯分校（IIT Madras）、印度技术教育理事会（AICTE）等，这些机构将与 OpenAI 共同开展以下核心工作：

• 推进 AI 与学习的研究：IIT Madras 与 OpenAI 宣布新的研究合作，OpenAI 提供 50 万美元资金支持。根据谅解备忘录，IIT Madras 将开展长期研究，探索 AI 如何改善学习成果，促进创新教学方法，并结合认知神经科学的见解。研究成果将公开分享，并为未来产品开发提供参考。
• 加速 AI 在印度的普及：未来六个月内，OpenAI 计划通过以下合作伙伴向印度的教育者和学生分发约 50 万个 ChatGPT 许可和培训：
  • 教育部（MoE）：为政府学校（1-12年级）教师提供 ChatGPT 访问权限，支持课程规划、学生参与和提升教学效果。
  • 印度技术教育理事会（AICTE）：为全国技术学院提供 ChatGPT 访问权限，强化数字技能、就业能力和 AI 实践应用。
  • ARISE 成员学校：为 K-12 教育者提供 ChatGPT 访问权限，实现更个性化和响应式的教学。
• 提供 AI 培训：各合作伙伴将与 OpenAI 共同设计并推广培训项目，提升教育者和学生的 AI 素养和使用信心，确保技术的有效且负责任使用。
• 推广学习工具：合作伙伴将推动 ChatGPT 学习模式等工具的广泛应用。学习模式基于印度学习者的反馈，作为个性化导师，通过个性化回答、互动提问和结构化指导，帮助学生保持专注并深化理解。

OpenAI 教育副总裁 Leah Belsky 表示：“我们相信 AI 拥有赋能教育者和学习者的巨大潜力。要实现这一潜力，必须与教育者和机构携手合作。这项工作对于 OpenAI 确保通用人工智能造福人类的使命至关重要，因此，OpenAI 学习加速器的推出及其合作伙伴关系，是 OpenAI 迄今为止对印度教育生态系统最重要的投资之一。”

为进一步加强通过 AI 推动印度及亚太地区教育机会的承诺，OpenAI 任命 Raghav Gupta 为印度及亚太地区教育负责人。Raghav 拥有超过 20 年的教育和消费技术经验，曾任 Coursera 印度及亚太区董事总经理。在新职位上，他将领导 OpenAI 推动 AI 教育发展，使 OpenAI 工具更易被印度的教育者、学生和教育研究者使用。

Raghav Gupta 表示：“与印度各地教育者和机构紧密合作潜力巨大，我很高兴加入 OpenAI，领导我们在印度及亚太地区的教育项目。通过与大学、学校、政府机构和教育者的紧密合作，我们有机会真正通过 AI 改变教育，推动更好的学习成果，同时支持印度成为 AI 驱动教育全球领导者的雄心。”

此次在印度教育峰会上发布的消息，基于 OpenAI 近期针对印度市场的多项举措，包括：

• 扩大印度布局：上周宣布今年晚些时候将在新德里开设首个印度办事处，扩大本地团队，更好地服务用户和合作伙伴。
• 印度教育宣传活动：在印度开展媒体活动，推广 ChatGPT 在学生学习和生活中的益处。
• ChatGPT Go：印度专属订阅服务，月费 ₹399，支持集成 UPI 支付。
• OpenAI 学院：与印度电子信息技术部合作，扩大全国 AI 素养项目。
• 增强印地语支持：最新发布的 GPT-5 模型在印地语能力测试中表现显著提升。

印度理工学院马德拉斯分校主任 Kamakoti Veezhinathan 博士表示：“IIT Madras 致力于探索 AI 如何重塑教学法并拓展教育研究。与 OpenAI 合作让我们能够推动创新边界，培养下一代教育者和技术专家。”

印度技术教育理事会主席 T.G. Sitharam 教授表示：“AI 不仅在改变技术，更在重新定义我们如何塑造未来的技术人才。AICTE 正在将 AI 融入各学科，注重为学生和教师提供实践性、行业相关的培训。OpenAI 作为人工智能领域的领先者，通过其先进工具和高端计算能力推动创新，使 AI 教育比以往任何时候都更易获得。利用这些先进工具，我们将加速创新，提升学习体验，构建面向未来的技术生态系统。”

Today, OpenAI announced the launch of OpenAI Learning Accelerator, an India-first initiative that aims to bring advanced AI to India’s educators and millions of learners nationwide through AI research, training, and deployment.

ChatGPT is now one of the most widely used learning tools in the world. Nowhere is this more true than in India, which is home to the largest student population on ChatGPT globally, with millions turning to it for homework help, exam prep, and to explore new ideas. 

The popularity of ChatGPT in learning also presents new challenges: how to ensure AI deepens rather than shortcuts learning, and how to help students build critical thinking skills when answers are instantly available. OpenAI Learning Accelerator is designed to address these challenges and empower educators and learners—to ensure AI strengthens learning, supports teachers, and addresses the unique needs of India’s education system.

Empowering educators and institutions with AI tools and training

At the center of this effort are partnerships with leading institutions, including include IIT Madras, AICTE, and others, who will work collaboratively with OpenAI through several core efforts:

Advancing research on AI and learning: IIT Madras and OpenAI today announced a new research collaboration, backed by $500,000 in funding from OpenAI. Through the MoU, IIT Madras will conduct long-term studies on how AI can improve learning outcomes, foster innovative teaching methods, aligned to insights from cognitive neuroscience. Findings will be shared openly and inform future product development.

Accelerate AI access across India: Over the next six months, OpenAI plans to distribute approximately half a million ChatGPT licenses and training to educators and students across India through the following partnerships:

• Ministry of Education (MoE): OpenAI is committing to provide ChatGPT access for teachers in government schools (Classes 1–12), supporting lesson planning, student engagement, and improved outcomes.
• All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE): providing ChatGPT access to technical institutes nationwide, strengthening digital skills, employability, and practical AI use.
• ARISE member schools: providing ChatGPT access for K–12 educators, enabling more personalized and responsive teaching.

Deliver AI training: Each partner will work with OpenAI to design and distribute training programs that build AI literacy and confidence among educators and students, ensuring the technology is used effectively and responsibly.

Deploy tools for learners: Partners will help drive access to tools like ChatGPT’s study mode at scale. Study mode is inspired by feedback from learners in India, and serves as a personalized tutor by guiding students step-by-step with personalized responses, interactive questioning, and structured instruction—helping them stay engaged and build deeper understanding.

“We believe AI has incredible potential to empower educators and learners. To realize that potential, we must work side by side with educators and institutions. This effort is critical to OpenAI’s mission of ensuring AGI benefits humanity—and as such, the launch of OpenAI Learning Accelerator alongside our partners, represents one of OpenAI’s most significant investments in India’s education ecosystem to date.” —Leah Belsky, VP of Education, OpenAI

To further strengthen its commitment to advancing education opportunities through AI in India and across Asia Pacific, OpenAI has appointed Raghav Gupta as Head of Education for India and Asia Pacific. Raghav brings over two decades of experience in education and consumer technology, most recently as Managing Director for India and Asia Pacific at Coursera. In this role, Raghav will lead OpenAI’s work to advance education with AI and make OpenAI’s tools more accessible to educators, students, and education researchers across India.

“There is huge potential to work closely with educators and institutions across India, and I’m thrilled to join OpenAI to lead our educational initiatives here and across the APAC region,” said Raghav Gupta, OpenAI’s newly appointed Head of Education for India and Asia Pacific. “By working closely with universities, schools, government bodies, and educators, we have an opportunity to truly transform education through AI, driving better learning outcomes, while supporting India’s ambitions to be a global leader in AI-enabled education.”

These announcements at the India Education Summit build on recent OpenAI India announcements and tailored initiatives for the India market, including:

• Expanding our presence in India: Last week, we announced that we will be opening our first India office in New Delhi later this year and expanding our local team to better serve users and partners. 
• Education campaign across India: a media campaign across India focussed on extending the benefits students get from ChatGPT in their studies and personal lives
• ChatGPT Go: An India-specific subscription tier priced at ₹399/month with integrated UPI payments.
• OpenAI Academy: Expanded nationwide AI literacy program in partnership with India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.
• Enhanced Indic language support: Our recently launched GPT‑5 model shows significant gains in benchmarks that test Indic language capabilities. 

Dr. Kamakoti Veezhinathan, Director IIT Madras, said: “At IIT Madras, our goal is to explore how AI can reshape pedagogy and expand research in education. Partnering with OpenAI allows us to push the boundaries of innovation and prepare the next generation of educators and technologists.”

Prof. T.G. Sitharam, Chairman, AICTE, said: “AI is not just transforming technology, it’s redefining how we shape the future of our technical workforce. At AICTE, we are integrating AI across disciplines and focusing on hands-on, industry-relevant training for both students and faculty. OpenAI, a progressive leader in the field of Artificial Intelligence, is driving innovation through its state-of-the-art tools and high-end computing capabilities, making AI education more accessible than ever. Leveraging such advanced tools will enable us to accelerate innovation, enhance learning experiences, and build a future-ready technical ecosystem.”
