Since generative artificial intelligence tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT have skyrocketed in popularity , some have appreciated AI for its ability to create ideas, while others cite concerns about privacy, job displacement and the loss of human elements in various fields.
In a 2023 survey, 56% of college students said they’d used AI tools for assignments or exams. However, opinions on its use vary widely between students. Some view AI as a revolutionary tool that can enhance learning and working, while others see it as a threat to creative fields that encourages and enables bad academic habits.
To explore how university students are using AI tools during the academic year, EdSource’s California Student Journalism Corps asked the following questions at nine California colleges and universities:
“Have you or someone you know used ChatGPT or another AI tool to complete a college assignment? Can you share what the assignment was, and if using AI was approved by your professor?”
Below are their responses.
