Ethics and Improvement: Undergraduate Students’ Use of Artificial Intelligence in Academic Endeavors

Abstract

This study explores ChatGPT's utilization among undergraduate students, examining its prevalence, impact, and ethical dimensions in an evolving educational landscape.While prior research acknowledges technology's increasing role in education, specific patterns of AI tool utilization and ethical dimensions remain less explored.This study aims to bridge that research gap by offering a comprehensive understanding of AI's impact on students and their education.Our findings demonstrate swift ChatGPT integration among undergraduate students.Notably, 65% of surveyed students utilized ChatGPT for academic tasks during the semester, while 48% employed it for nonacademic purposes.Students reported experiencing moderate academic improvements across various classes, with none indicating no perceived improvement from ChatGPT use.Ethical perspectives among students were diverse, as some students regarded AI use in education as ethically acceptable, while others expressed reservations.Moreover, students actively engaged with AI and ChatGPT exhibited greater ethical acceptance of its educational use compared to those who did not.A moderate correlation that linked students' ethical views to their perceived academic benefits was also found.
