"According to a survey of roughly 1,000 college students that Honorlock, an online proctoring service, published last week, only 31 percent of students are aware of AI courses their college or university offers, and fewer than 20 percent have taken them. They're using the technology, nonetheless, though it's not clear if they're using it to its full potential. More than 56 percent of respondents said they are required to use AI in coursework and 63 percent said they use it for some of their assignments,"
""The data indicates that students are learning AI on their own terms, not directly through structured coursework designed to apply advanced AI aptitude in the workplace. Universities have an opportunity to help students prepare for the use of AI across critical business applications including data capture and analysis, marketing, coding and cybersecurity," Michael Hemlepp, CEO of Honorlock, said in a news release. "In addition, colleges have a duty to start educating students on the ethical use of these tools, their benefits and drawbacks as they prepare to enter the workforce.""
Roughly half of college students view proficiency with artificial intelligence tools as important to their future careers. A survey of about 1,000 students found only 31 percent are aware of AI courses offered by their institutions and fewer than 20 percent have taken such courses. More than 56 percent reported being required to use AI in coursework and 63 percent said they use it for some assignments. Most students use AI for low-level tasks such as editing, generating text, brainstorming and explaining concepts. Universities can expand structured coursework to teach advanced AI applications, data skills and ethical use for workforce readiness.
