OpenAI just committed $50M to fund AI research across 15 top institutions. 
This is huge for a lot of reasons.

OpenAI is embedding itself into academia.

→ Harvard and Boston Children’s Hospital are using AI for faster rare disease diagnoses.
→ Oxford’s Bodleian Library is transcribing centuries-old texts with OpenAI’s API.
→ MIT and Texas A&M are training the next generation of AI researchers.

The upside here is that AI accelerates science. 
The catch is who controls the models that define knowledge and decision making?

This is infrastructure capture. The deeper OpenAI integrates into education, the harder it becomes for universities to operate without it. 

Who decides what that research looks like?
