In tracking and reviewing AI use on our platform, we hope to advance our understanding of this new and ever-changing technology, and ultimately, inform the ongoing development of our AI Policy, as well as the development of Coach<\/strong><\/a>, the AI-powered career development platform<\/a> we\u2019re launching this summer. Ultimately, we received 162 survey responses. The results showed a slight preference for AI-generated responses, though concerns about AI\u2019s impact on education and work remain.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our survey, encompassing both CareerVillage learners and early adult participants, revealed a preference for AI-generated advice. These results suggest that AI can be a valuable tool for delivering clear and informative responses. However, it is important to note the scope was limited. There were just two survey questions in which respondents directly compared AI-generated and non-AI responses to learner queries, ultimately choosing a preferred piece of advice from two unlabeled options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Three other questions asked respondents to read a specific piece of advice and rate its helpfulness on a scale of one to five. Of these three survey questions, two asked respondents to rate AI-generated answers to learner queries. Each was rated at an average of 4.5, while the non-AI answer was rated at 4.4 \u2013 not a meaningful difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When asked an open-ended question about their general feelings toward AI (How do you feel about AI? Do you use it in your education or personal life?), respondents expressed a mix of enthusiasm and concern, especially over the potential for misuse:<\/p>\n\n\n\n These findings have us re-evaluating how CareerVillage handles AI-generated content. While the survey suggests learners find value in AI, it also raises important questions for our team to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The survey results are just the beginning of a crucial conversation. The CareerVillage team is committed to striking a balance between embracing innovation and maintaining the authenticity and trust that our community of students, educators, and volunteers thrives on.

To gain a deeper understanding of community perspectives on the use of AI-generated and AI-assisted content in response to student questions, we took the additional step of conducting an 8-question survey among two segments in April 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
