Virginia Tech researchers study generative AI usage in higher education
A Virginia Tech study reveals that while generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Google's Gemini are gaining traction in higher education, significant disparities in usage and comfort levels exist, particularly between STEM and non-STEM students. The university is working on developing nuanced policies and training programs to guide the ethical and effective use of AI, aiming to bridge the "AI divide" and ensure these technologies enhance learning without compromising critical thinking.
