Exploring HEIs Students' Perceptions of Artificial Intelligence on their Learning Process

An increasing number of colleges and universities are introducing Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) in their teaching/learning frameworks. This study examines the feedback from 152 students across Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), representing diverse scientific areas, namely Engineering, Lit-erature, Business and Accounting, Sports. It aims to explore the integration of GAI features in education and students' perception on its advantages and disadvantages. Students' top benefit was ‘Personalized learning’. They also valued ‘efficient content creation’, and ‘individualized assessment tools’. Their major concern was ‘Ethical considerations‘, and it varied by demographic variables. Other distresses included ‘Lack of control of content creation’, ‘over-reliance’, and ‘AI depersonalization’, and ‘decreased interpersonal engagement’. Of utmost important conclusion is that HE students agree and strongly agree that AI came to disrupt HEIs' educational process.
