- About 25 percent of students report daily AI use and 40 percent use it at least once a week, while only one in sixteen has never tried it.
- Regular AI adoption exceeds 75 percent among mechatronics students but falls to around 50 percent in civil and environmental engineering.
- Most students turn to AI for general research and translations, and only a third have never used it for writing academic texts.
- Participants rated current university AI training offerings at an average of 2.7 out of 5 stars, reflecting widespread dissatisfaction.
- Study author Marc Hüsch urges universities to establish widespread AI training so all students can benefit equally.
