In the age of rapid digital transformation, universities are transitioning from mere information-distributing institutions to holistic ecosystems that redefine learning methods, research processes, and campus life. As one of the pioneers of this transformation in Turkey, Bahçeşehir University is initiating a new era in higher education based on artificial intelligence through its vision of ChatGPT Edu and BAU New Campus, implemented using the OpenAI infrastructure.

Personalized Learning Experience with ChatGPT

At the heart of the systems developed by Bahçeşehir University in collaboration with OpenAI is ChatGPT. Specially configured for students, ChatGPT Edu offers an AI infrastructure that actively guides the learning process, going beyond traditional digital assistants. This structure can be customized for each course, department, and faculty, working like a personal AI Student Assistant that students can access 24/7.

Thanks to this system, students not only receive answers to their questions; they are directed according to their learning styles, can analyze their weaknesses, and experience a personalized learning journey. This AI-supported approach places Bahçeşehir University in a privileged position in its understanding of a high-tech equipped campus.

ChatGPT Models Specific to Faculties and Departments

One of the most remarkable components of Bahçeşehir University's vision for artificial intelligence is the approach of “each department having its own ChatGPT.” ChatGPT models, specially structured for different academic fields such as economics, engineering, design, and social sciences, provide learning support integrated with course contents.

This structure enables students to experience an AI that works with terminology specific to their field, directs them to academic resources, establishes connections between concepts, and deepens learning. This approach highlights the BAU New Campus vision as a structure that enhances both digital and academic aspects.

AI-Supported Research Center and Academic Production

Bahçeşehir University positions artificial intelligence as a strategic tool in educational processes and academic production. The OpenAI-supported systems, developed with a focus on the Research Center, provide analysis, modeling, and data interpretation support for researchers, laboratories, and interdisciplinary studies.

Thanks to this infrastructure, academics working with large data sets can produce faster, more consistent, and more original results. AI-supported analysis and model development processes become an essential element that increases Bahçeşehir University's national and international academic competitiveness.

AI-Supported Smart Campus Approach

Bahçeşehir University's vision of artificial intelligence extends beyond classrooms and research areas to encompass all aspects of campus life. With the AI-supported Smart Campus understanding, many processes from living spaces to sustainable campus systems, and from event planning to building management are managed based on data.

This smart campus infrastructure not only enhances energy efficiency but also improves user experience. Thus, Bahçeşehir University concretely embodies the concept of a high-tech equipped campus through its operational processes.

Personal Development, Tracking, and Post-Graduation Value

Systems supported by ChatGPT offer a holistic structure that monitors students' university journeys from start to finish. This system, which recognizes the student's learning habits, analyzes development areas, and creates personalized learning maps, completes the process with a personalized development report at graduation.

With this approach, Bahçeşehir University positions itself as not just an institution that grants diplomas, but as a university that knows, develops, and prepares its students for the future.
