TITLE AWARENESS, USAGE, AND PERCEPTIONS OF AI TOOLS AMONG STUDENTS AT ACHARYA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT AND SCIENCE

ABSTRACT: This study examines the awareness, usage, and perceptions of AI tools among 285 students at Acharya Institute of Management and Science (AIMS). A structured questionnaire was used to assess their familiarity with AI, frequency of use, and perceived benefits and challenges. The results show that 94% of students are familiar with AI, and 80.7% use AI tools daily, mainly for writing assistance, with ChatGPT being the most popular generative AI tool. Despite the high usage, 86% of students are concerned about privacy and data security, and 55.43% mistrust AI in critical decision-making. The study recommends enhancing privacy measures, encouraging human oversight, addressing job displacement through retraining, and promoting discussions on AI’s future impact. It highlights AI’s potential to improve productivity and calls for responsible adoption in academic settings
