L’intelligence artificielle en enseignement supérieur : étude exploratoire des perceptions, usages et inégalités d’adoption des étudiants et étudiantes

Abstract

This study investigates the adoption and use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) among students in higher education (N = 756). Drawing on a mixed-methods approach, the research reveals significant disparities in GenAI uptake, influenced by field of study, gender, and academic pathway. The study also highlights the perceived benefits of GenAI, notably its capacity to support personalized learning and enhance study organization. However, it also raises ethical concerns and notes the risk of cognitive overreliance. The findings underscore the need for targeted strategies to ensure a balanced, inclusive, and responsible integration of GenAI within higher education institutions.
