The rapid adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education is reshaping students’ learning experiences, with tools such as ChatGPT, Grammarly, and Microsoft Copilot becoming integral to academic work. This study, informed by data from the Digital Education Council Global AI Student Survey 2024, examines the impact of AI on students, focusing on usage patterns, trust in AI-generated content, ethical awareness, and expectations for institutional support. Findings indicate that 86% of students use AI for various academic tasks, with a majority expressing concerns about trust, fairness, and over-reliance on AI. While students value AI’s benefits, only 5% are fully aware of institutional guidelines on AI use, and 72% desire more AI literacy courses, reflecting a significant need for comprehensive support in navigating AI responsibly. The study underscores the importance of clear ethical guidelines, faculty training, and student involvement in AI policy formation to foster responsible AI use and preserve academic integrity. These insights offer valuable guidance for educators and policymakers seeking to integrate AI ethically and effectively into higher education.
