Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) holds potential and challenges for various professional applications, including education. The impact of AI on educational institutions is multifaceted, encompassing multiple aspects of teaching, learning, and administrative functions. This study examines AI’s potential as a complementary tool in education and its challenges within a learning environment. It also explores potential negative consequences, using earlier models and experiences from the popular adoption and use of social media in academic environments. A survey of 100 undergraduate students was conducted to learn directly from their practical experiences with AI. Findings indicate that they readily explore its uses, with 65% falling under the frequent, to almost always use in educational or learning situations. Additionally, 13% indicate a self-assessed proficiency level of ‘experts’ on AI, while 26% indicate that they are proficient (skillful) users.
