Abstract

This study presented the survey results on the attitudes towards the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in education. A convenience sample of 15 participants was recruited to complete a 10-question survey, which was designed using a combination of multiple-choice, drop-down menu, Likert, rating, and rank questions in Google Forms. The findings revealed that AI use was high, with 53% of participants reporting frequent or regular use. The mean rating of the impact was 4.13 5 (SD = 0.72). While 73% agreed that AI enhanced their learning performance, 87% also expressed concerns about AI's ethics. Using personalized learning was considered the most beneficial feature of AI. The results demonstrated the benefits and issues of incorporating AI into education, and the need for institutional policies to regulate its use.
