The emergence of ChatGPT has magnified the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and has since changed the landscape in many industries including higher education. The integration of AI technology in teaching and learning is undeniable, and the impact of AI reaches curriculum, pedagogy, student engagement, and learning outcomes. To properly guide the use of AI on campus, we conducted a survey study of over 7600 students, faculty, and staff at a large U.S. university to explore the current perceptions, experiences, and usage of AI among our community. Echoing similar studies, general awareness and cautiously positive attitudes were observed, while concerns over the uncertainty and potential risks of AI were expressed. Preliminary data also suggested interesting differences between students and faculty/staff in terms of their interest and motivation in learning more about AI.
