many colleges either discourage or completely prohibit AI use.<\/li>\n<li>The survey suggests that AI has become a regular part of students&#8217; academic activities despite not all institutions adequately managing or guiding its use.<\/li>\n<li>Over 3,800 U.S. students between the ages of 18 and 59 participated in the survey, with participants mainly pursuing either associate or bachelor\u2019s degrees.<\/li>\n<li>42% of the respondents believe their school discourages AI use, and 11% outright prohibit it, while about 40% report some encouragement of AI use from their schools.<\/li>\n<li>Male students and those in business, technology, and engineering use AI more frequently compared to other students.<\/li>\n<li>To adequately prepare students for the workplace, which will likely include AI use, there is a strong emphasis on the need for education institutions to prepare students for its responsible use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Majority of college students use AI for their coursework, poll finds https:\/\/www.upi.com\/Top_News\/US\/2026\/04\/02\/survey-college-students-artificial-intelligence-coursework\/5341775162201\/ Publish Date: 2026-04-02&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":201719,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cdnph.upi.com\/sv\/ph\/og\/upi\/5341775162201\/2026\/1\/e57e85d75571da20d2594cf8125682e2\/v1.5\/Majority-of-college-students-use-AI-for-their-coursework-poll-finds.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-201718","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201718"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=201718"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201718\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":201720,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201718\/revisions\/201720"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/201719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=201718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=201718"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=201718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
