Publication Restricted Student Use of AI in Higher Education: Tools , Benefits and Ethical Challenges(2025) Ballabani , Eleonora; Hynes , Jennifer; International Management and Marketing (BA); Berlin International University of Applied SciencesIt examines the ways bachelor’s students use technology based on AI for their work in school, looking at the importance, issues and social issues that such tools may raise. Data was gathered by giving students a qualitative, open-ended survey that covered many different subjects and was used by students at different educational levels. Braun and Clarke’s framework for thematic analysis was used to analyse what participants said and find main themes, such as performance and ethical questions. According to the findings, students usually apply AI tools such as ChatGPT, Grammarly, QuillBot, Socratic and Perplexity for help with writing, summarising information, research and resolving problems. According to reports, using artificial intelligence can spare time, enhance how people write, support better understanding and help them improve all the time. But some concerns were addressed related to relying too heavily on AI, how exact the generated content was, decreased critical thinking and having no clear rules for handling AI in the institution. It was found that tools were applied uniquely in each discipline, and many students said they were not sure about what counts as ethical AI in learning. The work adds to existing research in AI and education by giving students’ perspectives and providing valuable suggestions to educators and policy officials. It points out that we need new policies, more learning on digital skills and including AI topics in our curriculum. Even though AI tools can improve learning, it is necessary to have strong ethical rules and institutional help to preserve honesty in academic work.
