EDUCAUSE QuickPoll Results: Did ChatGPT Write This Report? - Nicole Muscanell and Jenay Robert, EDUCAUSE Review

These QuickPoll data reveal multiple emerging tensions and points of view. Far from arriving at a consensus, institutional stakeholders are still forming opinions about generative AI. Students have already begun to use the technology for coursework, and faculty and staff are using it for work. However, generative AI is so emergent that most institutions don't have policies on its use. Generative AI poses serious implications for ethics, equity and inclusion, accessibility, and data privacy and security, to name just a few. With such high stakes, institutional leaders are under pressure to make the right decisions, but as users quickly adopt generative AI for life and work, time is of the essence.
