Examining Student Opinions about Artificial Intelligence at the University of Florida
University of Florida
Abstract
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.
