Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) as a computing concept has been labored by researchers and industry professionals for over 70 years although it has really gained notice, popularity, and mass adoption in the last four. AI has progressed from an abstract concept constrained by the limits of computing processing to being used in everyday life almost without notice. Like many other industries, academia has been aware of and has studied AI yet was never really prepared for its integration. It was not until the introduction of ChatGPT in 2022 that universities began to see an impact and drafted policies regarding use. This study seeks to expand previous research by reporting recent survey results on college student perceptions and use of AI. The results from the survey were then analyzed to calculate the potential implications for integrating AI into university courses. The results of the study provide validation by demonstrating students are open and curious about the use of AI and therefore may be open to curriculum changes and while there are still ethical concerns, they seem to overshadow the negative.
