Description
This study aimed to explore the perceptions of students and educators in Indian universities regarding the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into higher education, focusing on its role in learning and assignments. The research examined the attitudes and beliefs about AI, particularly in terms of its impact on pedagogical approaches and student learning outcomes. Specifically, the study explored the ethical implications, perceived benefits, and challenges associated with AI usage in the Indian educational context. A phenomenological approach was employed, with data collected through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions involving students and educators across diverse academic disciplines. Thematic analysis identified key patterns in participants' experiences, revealing both enthusiasm for AI's potential to personalize and enhance education and concerns over its implications for critical thinking, privacy, and educational equity. The findings offer insights for the development of AI-related educational policies in India. 2026, IGI Global Scientific Publishing. All rights reserved.
