Readiness, Impacts, and Challenges on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Among College Students in China

This study focused on the readiness, impact, and challenges on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) among college students in China. It utilized Chinese university students as the main survey subjects, and used a questionnaire survey related to AI learning Readiness, AI learning impact, and AI learning challenges to analyze the relationship between AI used for learning Readiness, the impact of AI tools used for learning, and the challenges brought by AI assisted learning. Findings show a significant relationship between college students’ AI readiness, AI impact, and AI challenges. The deeper the student’s AI Readiness, the greater the impact AI can have on learning; the deeper the readiness for AI learning, the more challenges it brings; and, the greater the impact of AI learning, the more challenges it brings. The study also developed an AI learning enhancement plan for universities and proposed suggestions for improving AI learning from the perspectives of education administrative authorities, university management, teachers, and college students. This has important practical significance for the high-quality development of higher education in the AI era, providing reference for the government to formulate education development policies in the AI era.
