Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education is rapidly increasing, both among students and lecturers. However, knowledge about how students perceive lecturers' use of AI remains limited. In Norway, there are significant differences in the use of such tools across various disciplines. Students in economics and business administration are among those who report the highest use of AI, while students in health and social studies report the lowest use. It is therefore interesting to examine how students perceive lecturers' AI use within the academic communities of economics and administration, as well as health and social studies. The aim is to explore students' views on lecturers' practices, and students' acceptance and engagement with such tools in their own learning. This study addresses two research questions: (1) How do students experience openness and perceived value related to the use of AI in teaching? (2) How do lecturers’ practices with AI relate to students’ attitudes toward and use of the technology?
