A survey of 1,047 US college students on GenAI: 55% use the tech for brainstorming ideas, 18% now question the value of college more than they used to, and more.

Key findings

1. Most students are using generative AI for coursework, but many are doing so in ways that can support, not outsource, their learning.
2. Performance pressures, among other factors, are driving cheating.
3. Nearly all students want action on academic integrity, but most reject policing.
4. Students have mixed views on faculty use of generative AI for teaching.
5. Generative AI is influencing students’ learning and critical thinking abilities.
6. Students want information and support in preparing for a world shaped by AI.
7. On the whole, generative AI isn’t devaluing college for students—and it’s increasing its value for some.
