Generative AI And Gen Z: Opportunities And Obstacles In Higher Ed - Marybeth Gasman, Forbes

College Rover, a company focused on simplifying the college search process, surveyed over 1000 Gen Z students about their use of AI in college, specifically AI assistants such as ChatGPT. One of the most interesting results was that 58% of the students indicated that at least one of their professors had warned that them that they may fail a class over unauthorized AI use in course assignments. In 2023, only 36% of students reported being warned of failure for the use of AI. The survey results also indicated that 61% of the students receive guidance on how to use AI-based tools such as ChatGPT from their college or university. The year before 29% of students indicated that they received guidance.
