Understanding the AI Divide: Comparing Faculty and Student Perceptions of Generative AI

Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: As GenAI reshapes the workforce, a significant disconnect in higher education has been identified. Researchers from the Research Initiative for Teaching Effectiveness at the University of Central Florida surveyed faculty (N=260) and students (N=677) finding that while half of students view AI skills as crucial for their future careers, fewer than one-third of faculty actively teach with AI or encourage its use. Despite differing perspectives on AI integration, both groups share a common concern: the risk of cheating and plagiarism. Our analysis reveals critical insights into the challenges of balancing technological innovation with academic integrity in an AI-driven educational landscape
