"In the fall, roughly three years after generative artificial intelligence tools went mainstream and some higher education institutions began partnering with tech companies, researchers surveyed 1,960 staff, administrators and faculty across more than 1,800 public and private institutions about AI's relationship to their work. Ninety-two percent of respondents said their institution has a work-related AI strategy-which includes piloting AI tools, evaluating both opportunities and risks and encouraging use of AI tools. And while the vast majority of respondents (89 percent) said they aren't required to use AI tools for work, 86 percent said they want to or will continue to use AI tools in the future."
"New data shows that while 94 percent of higher education workers use AI tools, only 54 percent are aware of their institution's AI use policies and guidelines. And even when colleges and universities have transparent policies in place, only about half of employees feel confident about using AI tools for work. "[That disconnect] could have implications for things like data privacy and security and other data governance issues that protect the institution and [its] data users," Jenay Robert, senior researcher at Educause and author of "The Impact of AI on Work in Higher Education," said on a recorded video message about the report."

That disconnect could have implications for data privacy, security and other data governance that protect institutions and data users. A fall survey of 1,960 staff, administrators and faculty across more than 1,800 institutions found 92 percent reported a work-related AI strategy and 56 percent reported using AI tools not provided by their institutions.
