Exclusive: College students want ethical AI
TL;DR
The share of business students regularly using AI has increased from 6.2% to 29% over the past three years, according to research from American University's Kogod School of Business, shared first with Axios. Why it matters: The chorus of AI boos at college graduations last spring doesn't tell the whole story: Students increasingly see AI as a critical job skill but want more guidance on using it responsibly. The big picture: Those commencement jeers aimed at AI boosterism captured real anxiety about the future.
Nauti's Take
Going from 6.2 to 29 percent in three years is real progress and shows that this generation is not rejecting AI, it wants to learn to use it properly. The challenge sits with the universities, because structured guidance is still missing almost everywhere and self teaching produces exactly the mistakes that get expensive on the job.
Employers benefit from this cohort but should bring their own guidelines.
