Artificial intelligence (AI) stands out as a potent technology that holds the promise of revolutionizing education. This study seeks to thoroughly grasp students’ viewpoints on the utilization of AI in educational settings, aiming to gain insights into its role in education. It investigates students’ perspectives on the benefits, challenges, and expectations tied to the integration of AI into the learning process. The study is based on the analysis of survey responses collected from students across diverse academic backgrounds and educational levels at the University of Technology and Applied Science (UTAS). The findings indicated an overall positive perception of AI among students, who view it as beneficial for education. Despite this positivity, concerns about certain drawbacks persist. Consequently, it becomes crucial to implement measures that mitigate potential negative impacts while capitalizing on the advantages offered by AI in education.
