Crossroads: Navigating the intersection of AI in education

New focused education research survey from Turnitin and Vanson Bourne reveals the perspectives of students, educators and academic administrators on AI usage in academia.

Our research reveals that while survey respondents recognise the benefits of AI, they are overwhelmed by its volume and availability.

Students outpace educators and academic administrators in concerns around AI, with 64% of students, 50% of educators, and 41% of academic administrators worried about AI use within education. Furthermore, 50% of students report not knowing how to get the most value from AI in their studies.

Key research themes:

The current landscape and considerations shaping AI in academia.
Understanding the unknowns of AI in academia and building trust.
Overcoming challenges and strengthening the approach to AI adoption.
Empowering educators to nurture students’ AI-readiness in their studies and future work.

There’s plenty of insights to uncover—explore the full research report.
