Indiana University opened its GenAI 101 course to the public without charge, expanding access to one of the university’s largest generative-AI learning offerings. The free release is part of a scaling push that extends beyond campus to reach worldwide learners. IU said the course—developed by Kelley School of Business—already reached more than 114,000 students, faculty, staff, and alumni since its launch this summer. The curriculum is designed around practical, workforce-focused generative AI skills and includes an AI “co-teacher” named Crimson. IU President Pamela Whitten framed the expansion as both talent upskilling and responsible, ethical application training. For higher education leaders, the step underscores the growing role of business schools in distributing AI literacy widely and quickly—often ahead of formal degree adoption cycles.
