Digital Hollywood University Launches University-Wide AI Learning Platform
The university is restructuring its entire campus environment around generative AI, with per-class AI teaching assistants and per-student agents, rather than treating AI as an optional tool added to existing courses.

Digital Hollywood University began operating a university-wide generative AI infrastructure and a new Campus Portal on September 1. Students in game, 3DCG, video, and design programs can use image, video, music, and text generation from a common base without individual contracts. Each class can set up its own AI teaching assistant, and each student gets a personal AI agent. The system was developed by the university's Reality Science Research Institute, headed by President Naotaka Fujii.
Faculty register lecture records and materials from a management screen to build a class-specific AI teaching assistant, with no programming knowledge required. The assistant runs independently for each student, varying its questions based on prior dialogue rather than giving answers directly. Student conversations and notes are viewable only by the student; the university tracks only AI usage volume, and faculty see only the reflections students write themselves.
A separate personal agent, whose name and personality the student sets, continues dialogue across the learning record. At graduation, four years of records are returned to the student as their own asset. The portal was designed and built by President Fujii using generative AI, and rolls out campus-wide on September 21.
