Survey: College Students’ Views on AI
Key findings
- Most students are using generative AI for coursework, but many are doing so in ways that can support, not outsource, their learning.
- Performance pressures, among other factors, are driving cheating.
- Nearly all students want action on academic integrity, but most reject policing.
- Students have mixed views on faculty use of generative AI for teaching.
- Generative AI is influencing students’ learning and critical thinking abilities.
- Students want information and support in preparing for a world shaped by AI.
- On the whole, generative AI isn’t devaluing college for students—and it’s increasing its value for some.
Looks like only 15% haven't used Gen_AI in any capacity which to me is more fascinating than the implications of the technology itself:
It means the Ricardian Principle is upside down when it comes to cheating, instead of 20% of users causing 80% of the problems, it's 80% of the users doing it for a 20% gain.
Once again, proving, like countless other times in history, it's a human issue
