Abstract:
This study aims to gather real-world data on how EIT students perceive AI to develop a training program that helps them adapt to modern technologies. Many students fear AI, and while we teach them how to use it, we often overlook explaining what it truly is. Our latest survey revealed a common misconception that many students believe AI is a sentient robot with emotions capable of entirely replacing humans. We can foster a more informed and confident approach to AI integration in the education process by addressing these misconceptions.
