Anthropic Expands AI Education with Courses and Campus Board
  • Anthropic sets up a Higher Education Advisory Board to guide academic use of its AI model, Claude.
  • Three AI Fluency courses launched to support responsible AI use in teaching and learning.
  • Courses are globally available, including in India, under a Creative Commons license.

Anthropic, the Amazon backed artificial intelligence company, has announced two major initiatives aimed at bringing AI literacy into higher education. The company has established a Higher Education Advisory Board and launched three AI Fluency courses designed to help educators and students responsibly integrate AI into classrooms and academic life.

The Higher Education Advisory Board will play a key role in shaping how Anthropic’s in house large language model, Claude, is used in teaching, research, and academic operations. The board is chaired by Rick Levin, former president of Yale University and ex-CEO of Coursera, who emphasized the company’s commitment to ethical AI use and student privacy. He stated that the board’s goal is to ensure that Claude supports learning while upholding the highest standards of academic integrity.

Joining Levin on the board are five prominent figures in education, David Leebron, former president of Rice University; James DeVaney from the University of Michigan; Julie Schell from the University of Texas, Austin; Matthew Rascoff of Stanford University; and Yolanda Watson Spiva, president of Complete College America.

Alongside the advisory board, Anthropic has released three AI Fluency courses co-developed with educators Rick Dakan of Ringling College of Art and Design and Joseph Feller of University College Cork. These courses, AI Fluency for Educators, AI Fluency for Students, and Teaching AI Fluency, focus on helping teachers incorporate AI into their curriculum, guiding students on responsible AI use, and supporting institutions in delivering AI literacy.

The courses are available for free under a Creative Commons license and can be adapted by universities around the world, including in India. This move reflects Anthropic’s broader commitment to ethical AI adoption and aligns with the growing demand for structured AI education in a fast changing technological landscape.
