Learning based on human preferences: A pilot study regarding the student's perception of the AI and the use of ChatGPT
Abstract
The study examined the awareness, understanding, and attitudes of students towards artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on educational management. A survey with open-ended questions was used for data collection. The objective was to analyze the respondents' perception of the importance, use, and impact of AI, including ChatGPT, in their workplace and educational settings. It was administered to 25 master's students at the Faculty of Finance and Banking, University of Economic Studies in Bucharest. The conclusions were based on processing the open-ended responses using an AI tool. The findings revealed that all respondents were aware of the presence of AI. The main sources of information about AI were the workplace, social media, and friends. The sentiment analysis of the responses showed a higher positive coefficient regarding the impact of AI on education. While acknowledging the limitations of this pilot study, the main conclusions indicate that students are receptive to the digitalized society. The use of platforms like ChatGPT and AI software in practical activities is limited. They cautiously value the experience of working with AI text generators. The predominance of positive sentiments related to the use of ChatGPT in both the workplace and educational activities provides a solid foundation for the formal, coherent, efficient, and participatory integration of AI into responsible educational approaches and processes.
