The Impact of AI on Students Survey Analysis

The Impact of AI on Students Survey Analysis

My research topic: AI

Target: Japanese and International Students

Number of respondents: 32

Brief Initial Summary: Students were asked to answer 15 questions related to Artificial Intelligence (AI). The first four questions were designed to collect general information about the participants. The respondents were evenly split between Japanese students (50%) and international students (50%). Additionally, half of the participants were third-year students, and the majority came from social sciences and business-related fields.

(Results)

Graph #1 Shows that ChatGPT is the most widely used AI tool among respondents, with 29 students selecting it as their preferred AI platform.

Graph #2 Shows that laptops are the most commonly used devices for accessing AI tools. Smartphones rank second, receiving only two fewer responses than laptops.

Graph #2

Graph #3 Shows that 53.1% of students use AI every day, while 12.5% use it once a day. The remaining respondents reported using AI a few times a week or only rarely. One particularly interesting finding is that none of the students indicated that they never use AI, highlighting how widely these tools have been adopted among the student population.

Graph #3

Graph #4 Shows that the three main uses of AI among students are completing homework and assignments, gathering information, and studying for exams. Other purposes, such as seeking personal recommendations, were also reported but represented a smaller percentage of responses. These results suggest that students primarily use AI as an academic support tool rather than for personal or recreational purposes.

Graph #4

Graph #5 Shows that most students feel moderately dependent on AI tools in their daily lives. The largest group rated their dependence as 3 out of 5 (40.6%), followed closely by 4 out of 5 (37.5%). No respondents selected 1 out of 5, suggesting that all participants rely on AI to some extent in their everyday activities.

Graph #5

Graph #6 Shows that most students believe the absence of AI tools for one week would have at least some impact on their academic performance. The largest group (40.6%) expected a slight impact, while 31.3% anticipated a moderate impact. Only 9.4% believed there would be no impact at all, indicating that AI has become an important support tool for many students in their studies.

Graph #6

Graph #7 Shows that most students agree that AI has become an essential tool in both their education and personal lives. In the educational context, the highest number of respondents selected “Agree,” indicating a strong recognition of AI for learning and academic tasks. A similar trend can be seen in personal life, where most students also expressed positive views toward AI, although opinions were slightly more balanced. Overall, the results suggest that AI is widely regarded as an important part of students’ daily and academic activities.

Graph #7

Graph #8 Highlights the activities that students would find most difficult without AI which the two most frequently selected responses were writing assignments and reports and brainstorming ideas. Each chosen by 43.8% of respondents. Finding information was also identified as a major challenge (40.6%), followed by studying concepts (28.1%). These results suggest that students rely on AI primarily for academic tasks, research, and idea generation.

Graph #8

Graph #9 Shows that most students spend a relatively limited amount of time using AI tools each week. The largest group of respondents (40.6%) reported using AI for less than one hour per week, followed by 34.4% who use it for 1–3 hours. Only a small percentage of students reported using AI for more than seven hours per week. These results suggest that, while AI is widely used among students, its use is generally moderate rather than intensive.

Graph #9

Graph #10 Shows that a majority of students (65.6%) believe that students are becoming too dependent on AI. Meanwhile, 34.4% of respondents think that the level of dependence depends on the individual student. Notably, no participants answered “No,” suggesting a general concern about the growing role of AI in students’ academic and daily lives.

Graph #10

Graph #11 The last question was one that students had the opportunity to expose their main concerns about AI, where the most common concern was the potential overreliance on AI, which many respondents felt could reduce students’ ability to think critically, solve problems independently, make decisions, and develop creativity. Several participants also expressed concerns that students may become less capable of evaluating information critically, distinguishing reliable sources from misinformation, and forming their own opinions.

Other concerns included the loss of originality in academic work, reduced human interaction and communication, increased dependence on AI for everyday decisions, and the possible impact of AI on future employment opportunities. Despite these concerns, some respondents emphasized that AI itself is not the problem; rather, its impact depends on how it is used. 

So, overall, the responses suggest that students view AI as a valuable tool but believe it should complement and not replace the independent thinking, learning, and human judgment.

Graph #11

(Conclusion) Overall, the survey shows that AI has become an important part of students’ academic and personal lives. Most students use AI regularly for tasks such as studying, completing assignments, and finding information, and many believe it has become an essential tool. However, the results also reveal concerns about increasing dependence on AI, particularly its potential impact on critical thinking, creativity, and independent learning. These findings suggest that while AI offers significant benefits, it should be used as a support tool rather than a replacement for human judgment and problem-solving.
