Last week, we launched the Internet2 NET+ Google AI Education Leadership Program (ELP), a new initiative with Internet2 to accelerate the responsible adoption of AI across the research and higher education community. This program provides a community-driven framework for institutions to integrate tools like Gemini for Education and NotebookLM to enhance teaching, learning and research. And it ensures institutions do not navigate the complexities of AI alone.

The first 10 institutions in the program represent a broad cross-section of public and private universities across the United States. Collectively serving more than 325,000 students, the cohort includes the University of California Berkeley, Lehigh University; New York University; the University of Hawaii; the University of Maryland, Baltimore County; the University of Washington; and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. We’re looking forward to partnering with this community to define the future of AI in higher education.
