Why Students Aren't All In on AI—And What They Want From Colleges (insidehighered.com) — A national survey finds many college students rely on AI for learning support yet worry about becoming too dependent, and they’re not impressed with how campuses are handling the technology. Bowling Green State University AI adviser Tawnya Means argues colleges should treat AI as a pedagogical issue, modeling thoughtful use and helping students develop as critical thinkers, not just tool users.
