Welcome Ayman! This forum is for the Open edX learning platform software that edX uses, but it’s not the forums for the company that is [edX](https://www.edx.org/) (now 2U). That being said, my understanding is that edX only hosts content from its [partner institutions](https://www.edx.org/schools-partners). The only way to be an instructor for an edX course is to be faculty/staff with one of those institutions and get whatever internal approvals are necessary to put your course online through them. Take care. ---

Sadly, this looks like an inacurate AI generated response. @emma_7024 could you please confirm the information? ---

@juancamilom does that mean our information here is being used by an AI model, Is there a way that I can choose weather to opt in or opt out from that AI model using my data? ---

I don’t know. My guess is that somewhere there is a bot that looks for questions in open forums like this one, and responds with a chatgpt generated response. ( in this case the question was “How can I join edX as an instructor?” ). IMHO this hurts our discuss and community dynamic, that is why I raised the question to the user / person that published such response. ---
