The number of undergraduate students in the UK who use artificial intelligence has increased to help them complete their studies over the past 12 months, raising questions about how universities evaluate their work.

More than nine in 10 students are now using artificial intelligence in some form, compared to two thirds a year ago, according to Scan Institute of Thought in the Higher Education Policy on Wednesday.

Experts warned that the absolute speed Amnesty International Among the university students wanted by universities to quickly develop policies to give students clear about the acceptable uses of technology.

Josh Freeman, HEPI, said that he could not see such rapid changes in students’ behavior and that he would be forced to radically change the way to evaluate students of students.

There are urgent lessons here for institutions. Each evaluation should be reviewed if it is easily completed using artificial intelligence. This will require bold reintegration initiatives for employees in the strength and capabilities of obstetric intelligence. “

The results come a month after the controversy of the Minister of Science Peter Kyle Say It was acceptable for school children to use artificial intelligence to complete their homework “with supervision and [when] Used in the right path. “

The results related to the use of the Trucific I intelligence tools based on a representative sample survey of 1041 full -time university students in the United Kingdom by Savanta.

It found that 88 per cent of students said they used artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT for assessments, up from 53 percent. In 2024With students who study science materials more likely to use technology more than their peers who study social sciences and humanities.

Only 29 percent of human science students felt that the content generated from artificial intelligence “will get a good degree in my subject”, compared to 45 percent of students studying for scientific, engineering or medical degrees.

The two biggest reasons for students to use artificial intelligence were “saving time” and “improving my work quality”, as half of them indicated this reason that they are more likely to take advantage of artificial intelligence tools.

The percentage of students who considered that it was acceptable to include the text of artificial intelligence in the tasks after liberation had grown from 17 percent to 25 percent during the past year, but only 6 percent thought of using the content created from artificial intelligence without liberation.

The report also defined what was called “continuous digital gaps” in the efficiency of artificial intelligence, with men more likely than women to be frequent users, along with students from more richer wallpapers. Nearly half of the students said they had already used artificial intelligence at school.

Although the percentage of students who say that university employees were “well equipped” to support their use of Amnesty International throughout the year, from 18 to 42 percent, many students still said that they lack clarity about the rules of use of artificial intelligence.

“Everything is still very mysterious in the air if it can be used and why.” “They are dancing on this topic. It is not blocked but not advice, it is an academic misconduct if you use it but the lecturers tell us that they use it. Very mixed messages,” another added.

Jeanis Kai, director of the higher future factors, a consulting company for higher education, who wrote the introduction to the HEPI report, said that although it is a “positive sign in general” that students are learning to use artificial intelligence, he referred to the upcoming challenges.

“There is little evidence here that artificial intelligence tools are offended to cheat and toys the system. [But] She added that there are many signs that will constitute serious challenges for learners, teachers and institutions, and will need to be addressed with the transformation of higher education.
