Students’ experiences are central to how we address the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in our learning spaces. How do students use and think about generative AI? This session offers insights from students in a variety of disciplines as they reflect on the role of generative AI in their educational experiences – where it might be useful, where it might get in the way of their learning goals, the pressures of career-seeking in the age of AI, and the meaning of “responsible” use. What insights can faculty gain from these nuanced perspectives, and how might we revise or rethink our course materials accordingly?

Learning outcomes:

• Challenge assumptions being made about students’ use of and opinions on AI
• Reflect on AU students’ perceptions of generative AI in their education
• Identify ethical concerns with AI that matter to students at AU
