College Students Adopt AI For Coursework

Lumina Foundation and Gallup on April 2 released the 2026 State of Higher Education survey finding 57% of U.S. college students use AI at least once a week and about 21% use it daily. Survey of 3,800 students shows most users report AI helps understand complex material, save time, and improve grades, while many institutions discourage or ban its use, prompting calls for clearer policies and instruction.
