Colleges have the responsibility of addressing not only the academic, integrity-based concerns of students using AI for their homework, but also as the forebearers of new learning and technology, how AI will change their students’ futures and careers. In this study, we will explore the different factors, such as Computer Science Score and location, that might affect how much a college discusses AI, ChatGPT specifically. To demonstrate the validity of our research, we used self-collected data with our methods detailed below.展开更多
