Anthropic launches higher education advisory board and AI Fluency courses (www.anthropic.com)

Anthropic has launched a Higher Education Advisory Board alongside a suite of AI Fluency courses aimed at responsibly integrating AI into higher education. The advisory board, chaired by Rick Levin—former Yale University president and Coursera leader—includes prominent academic figures with expertise in educational innovation, digital learning, and student success. Their role is to guide the ethical development of Anthropic’s AI, Claude, ensuring it supports teaching and research while safeguarding academic integrity and student privacy. Complementing the board’s strategic oversight, Anthropic released three practical AI Fluency courses co-created with educators, designed to help faculty and students responsibly harness AI tools. These courses cover integrating AI into teaching, developing students’ critical thinking alongside AI collaboration, and guiding institutions in curriculum and assessment adaptation. Offered under Creative Commons licenses, they provide accessible frameworks and best practices to support AI literacy amid rapid technological change. These efforts signal Anthropic’s commitment to shaping AI’s role in education thoughtfully, empowering universities to navigate AI’s transformative potential while maintaining core academic values.
