UCLA decided to allow students to use AI technology to solve their study problems. They introduced many AI programs for students in Los Angeles’s hub. The AI program provides women and other students from underrepresented groups with professional mentorship, portfolio-development coaching, and skills-based training in the Boston, Los Angeles, and New York areas.
They also provide online learning through their AI development. Recently, they developed a new AI course for students to gain advanced knowledge. Comp Lit course is a new invention at UCLA that AI created.
Comp Lit Course
In modern academic practices, a Comp Lit course is actually comparative literature that provides a singular chance to search texts and concepts across linguistic, disciplinary, and chronological boundaries. This technology enables us to think more thoroughly about the characteristics of such barriers and how they are defined. Studying comparative literature provides the opportunity to engage across disciplines and to question established ideas and literary traditions.
ULCA Offers A Comp Lit Course Developed By AI
In the winter of 2025, a comparative literature class at UCLA will provide homework assignments, textbooks, and TA resources created by AI.
The class is a survey of literature from the Middle Ages to the 17th century, and the materials were created by Kudu—an “evolved” textbook platform launched by Alexander Kusenko, a professor of physics and astronomy at UCLA. The university says this will be the first class in its humanities division with materials generated by Kudu.
Professor Zrinka Stahuljak gave Kudu the notes, PowerPoint slides, and YouTube videos from her previous editions of the course so that she could develop those materials. The process of developing a course can take three to four months, but according to UCLA, academics should only give 20 hours of their work, and Kudu pays them for this time.
According to Stahuljak, this strategy should ensure more regular course material delivery and free up time for her and her teaching assistants to work closely with students. Kudu's responses to students' queries about the content are taken entirely from the professor's materials, not from the internet in general.
