Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The article examines the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and their applications in Czech university education in relation to ethical behavior. In the theoretical section, we define artificial intelligence in education and provide an overview of its use and the related ethical challenges. We also describe the national context and initiatives active during the research period. The paper presents students’ knowledge of and perceptions regarding rules, guidelines, and regulations related to AI usage in the university environment, explored through an anonymous online questionnaire distributed among Czech university students in December 2023. The results show that ChatGPT, including its paid version and translation tools, has been popular among students. Perceptions of unethical behavior connected with AI use varied. Students emphasized the need for clearly defined rules and guidelines and concrete case descriptions that they can easily interpret.
