Overview
- A Kogod School of Business survey released Tuesday found more than 80% of its business students used AI for coursework in the past six months and roughly 29% now use AI 11 or more times a week.
- Over a three-year span the share of students who use AI regularly rose from 6.2% to 29%, showing rapid normalization of the tools in study and internship work.
- Employers are increasingly testing for AI ability in hiring, with the share of interviews that included AI-related questions jumping from 11.6% to 42.6% in the Kogod findings.
- Colleges are shifting from blanket bans to explicit instruction and assessment of AI use, while students continue to request clearer rules and practical ethics training because many report worries about dependence and academic integrity.
- The change is likely to reshape coursework and hiring: expect more AI-skills training, redesigned assessments that evaluate original thinking, and stronger employer expectations for practical AI competence.
