This new Policy Note by HEPI and Kortext explores students’ attitudes to AI. Based on a poll of 1,250 students through UCAS, we build a picture of the way students use and view generative AI technologies like ChatGPT and Google Bard. We find that the use of generative AI has become normalised in higher education, but that universities have so far prevented an epidemic of AI-based cheating.
