Australian uni students are warming to ChatGPT. But they want more clarity on how to use it.

A survey conducted in Australian universities has found that more students are using generative AI, specifically ChatGPT, for their studies. The survey revealed that 82% of students had tried or used generative AI in the second half of the year, with some using it for learning and assessment purposes. Students reported using generative AI for tasks such as summarizing text, generating ideas, and proofreading their work. However, students also acknowledged the limitations of generative AI, including accuracy issues and the need for credible sources. Students expressed a desire for clearer guidelines on the ethical use of generative AI in assessments. The survey also highlighted concerns about potential disparities in access to advanced AI models due to paid subscriptions. The authors emphasized the need for universities to plan and manage the use of generative AI in various disciplines, considering its potential for optimizing teaching and learning, curriculum innovation, and inclusion.
