A global survey with 4,000 respondents in 16 countries conducted by the Digital Education Council (DEC) this week revealed that 86% of students already use AI in their studies, with 54% of them on a weekly basis.

These are the main outcomes of the survey.

• ChatGPT, Grammarly, and Microsoft Copilot are the most used tools.

• In addition, many AI applications now operate seamlessly in the background and are perceived as standard features rather than distinct AI tools.

• Students expect their institutions to get more involved in using AI in teaching and learning, especially in addressing the gaps in AI knowledge and skills.

• They anticipate far more potential around career exploration and learning support. They are especially worried about AI in assessment.

• Faculty members are expected to increase their use of AI in teaching, research, and administration, given that many have lost many opportunities.
