International Association for Computer Information Systems (IACIS) Conference · 2025 · Conference Paper

This study examines how generative AI is affecting college students and faculty, using survey data from 114 students and interviews with 18 professors to compare perceptions, usage patterns, and concerns. Students view AI as a helpful academic tool, especially for managing workload, while faculty remain more cautious, highlighting ethical issues and the need for clearer institutional guidelines.
