The BestColleges report, which surveyed 1,000 undergraduate and graduate students, found that 43 percent of students have used AI tools for personal projects, out of curiosity, or for fun. Of those who have tried AI tools, 90 percent used them for these reasons. However, while 57 percent of students stated they did not plan to use AI tools to complete coursework or exams, 32 percent admitted to using them.

When it comes to using AI tools for schoolwork, the report found that 50 percent of students used AI for some parts of their assignment but completed the majority themselves. Only 30 percent of students used AI for the majority of their assignment, while 17 percent used AI to complete an assignment and turned it in with no edits.
