As artificial intelligence (AI) has advanced, it has become a prominent consideration in the academic world, sparking a range of differing viewpoints on its appropriate use. While AI in education holds great potential, it also presents limitations and ethical implications to be considered. Understanding student perspectives is valuable in the conversation about AI, and especially important in guiding its integration into academic settings, such as the shaping of academic policies. This paper serves to explore UF undergraduate student opinions on AI, revealing that they are largely open to the permissive use of AI in their work. Additionally, the results of this research suggest that while UF undergraduate students believe AI is valuable and enhances their work, many students desire clear expectations for its usage. Ultimately, this paper offers insight into the overarching opinions that UF undergraduate students hold regarding AI in the current moment.
