The Chronicle of Higher Education Debuts an AI-Powered Research Assistant
The Chronicle of Higher Education launched Chron in beta for its print and digital subscribers, which is “an experimental AI-powered chatbot that is the first of its kind devoted to answering questions about the state of higher education and pressing issues on college campuses.” It leverages information from more than 130,000 articles dating from 1990 in The Chronicle’s digital archive.“With each response, Chron provides links to relevant source articles written by Chronicle journalists and contributors,” the press release notes. “In developing Chron, The Chronicle’s technology team experimented with several large language models, ultimately selecting Anthropic Claude 3.5 Sonnet for its accuracy, performance, and commitment to ethical principles, including transparency, respect for human values, and non-discrimination.” For more information, read the press release.
