"A survey of 1,505 teachers from the United States, India, Qatar, Colombia and the Philippines found that about 27% used AI for lesson prep on a weekly basis, but about half of those never or rarely used AI during live instruction. Most teachers said AI streamlines routine tasks. But they feared increased plagiarism on the part of students and diminished student creativity. The research was led by USC's Center for Generative AI and Society."
"A December 2024 survey of 1,041 United Kingdom university undergraduates found that the percentage of students using AI surged from 66% the prior year to 92%. The main uses: explaining concepts; summarizing articles; suggesting research ideas; 18% included AI-generated text directly in their assignments. Students said AI saved time and improved the quality of their work. Two factors discourage students the most from integrating AI in their studies: Being accused of academic misconduct and the fear of getting false or biased results. The study was overseen by Higher Education Policy Institute."
