🚨 New Insights on AI in Higher Ed! 🚨
I'm always curious to see how higher education professionals are incorporating AI tools into their work, and a recent report from Australia shed some fascinating light:
71% of the 3,421 university staff across 17 institutions reported using generative AI at work.
An impressive 216 different AI tools were reported across the board.
1/3 reported that they only used one AI tool, and a 1/4 reported using two AI tools.
A small number of staff (around 4%) had used ten tools or more.
88% of AI users are leveraging ChatGPT, while 37% use Microsoft Copilot.
These tools are being applied to a variety of tasks like:
📚 Literature searching
✍️ Writing & summarizing information
🎓 Course development & teaching
📊 Assessment methods
Yet, despite the growing interest, 30% of staff still haven’t tapped into AI at work.
A key takeaway: University staff are calling for clear policies, robust training, and investments in secure AI tools to help guide this technological shift.
