April 2 (UPI) -- A majority of college students in the United States uses artificial intelligence tools for their coursework at least once per week, a poll revealed.
The Lumina Foundation and Gallup released results from their 2026 State of Higher Education survey of U.S. college students, finding that 57% use AI at least once a week as part of their coursework and roughly 20% use it on a daily basis.
The vast majority of students who use AI said it helps them understand complex material, saves them time and has helped them get better grades, the survey results showed.
For students who rarely or never use AI for their school work, three-quarters of survey respondents said they consider it either unethical or as cheating, with nearly as many saying that their college prohibits or at least discourages AI use.
