Researchers reported that large language models like ChatGPT respond to 'mindfulness' prompt strategies, which reduced biased or erratic outputs after exposure to traumatic content in experiments. The study suggests prompt design can moderate model behavior, a finding that may influence campus AI tools used in counseling, pedagogy and research. In parallel, OpenAI’s recruitment for a high-level 'head of preparedness' underscores industry-wide moves to embed safety roles into AI operations. Universities negotiating partnerships or licensing with AI vendors should expect higher expectations around risk mitigation, incident response and deployment safeguards.
