人工智能挑战：高校教师如何评估人工智能时代高等教育的现状与未来

How College Faculty Assess the Present and Foreword by Lynn Pasquerella President, American Association of Colleges and Universities H tools—have quickly become woven into everyday academic life. The speed of this transition invites not only attention butalso candor as we consider how these technologies are shaping teaching, learning, and understanding. Results from AAC&U’s latest national survey of 1,057 faculty members, conducted in partnership with Elon University’sImagining the Digital Future Center, offer insight into how colleges and universities are navigating this pivotal moment.Across disciplines and institutional types, faculty express deep concern about the consequences of widespread use ofGenAI. An overwhelming 95 percent of respondents believe these tools will increase students’ overreliance on artificial Faculty also see GenAI reshaping their own work. Eighty-six percent say it is likely or extremely likely that thesetechnologies will alter the role of those who teach in higher education, and nearly four in five believe the typical teachingmodel in their departments will be affected, often significantly. At the same time, concerns about academic integrity loom Taken together, these findings explain why nearly half of surveyed faculty view the future impact of GenAI in their fieldsas more negative than positive, while only one in five see it as more positive than negative. Yet, this is not a story ofsimple resistance to change. It is, instead, a portrait of a profession grappling seriously with how to uphold educational Faculty skepticism reflects a principled concern for student learning and for the public purposes of higher education. Italso reflects the reality that institutions have often adopted new technologies without sufficient guidance, shared norms,or investment in professional development. GenAI raises crucial questions about assessment and authorship, equity, Consequently, this report should be read as an invitation to engage in institution-wide conversations about the use of AIin relation to learning goals, curricular design, pedagogical innovation, and academic integrity; and to develop clear andtransparent policies grounded in evidence and values. We are grateful to the faculty who shared their experiences and Introduction by Connie Book President, Elon University In this second higher education survey on issues related to artificial intelligence, Elon University and AAC&Uprovide important data about the expanding impact of AI on teaching and learning. Our January 2025 releaseof a survey of higher education leaders provided an important first benchmark as AI technologies began to take hold in academia. This year’s survey of more than a thousand faculty members offers fresh insights about the roleand impact of AI on higher education from those on the front lines of teaching and learning in the age of AI. Faculty express deep concerns about AI’s negative impact on learning outcomes, along with longer-termeffects of AI systems on young adults’ attention spans and the prospect that these learners could develop anoverreliance on AI tools. More than three-quarters predict that AI will increase academic integrity concerns,and two-thirds believe it will diminish students’ critical thinking skills. In parallel, most respondents expect AI to At the same time, faculty views are not uniformly pessimistic. Significant numbers acknowledge AI’s potentialto improve aspects of teaching and learning, including the customization of instruction, efficiency in coursepreparation, and the quality of assignments and research support. Moreover, 69 percent of faculty say they now In disrupted environments like this, the best anchoring strategy is to remain steadfast on core values. We at ElonUniversity launched a series of initiatives promoting higher education’s essential role in preparing people for the At the practical and implementation level, we collaborated with AAC&U and more than 150 scholars to createtwo Student Guides to AI covering such topics as how to think about research and writing in the Age of AI, how As universities and colleges grapple with some new realities for learning and scholarship, this report offers somecrucial grounding. I hope it helps you put the situation at your own institution in a wider, national context. Key Data Takeaways The American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) and Elon University’s Imagining the DigitalFuture Center conducted a survey of 1,057 U.S. faculty in November 2025, asking questions about the said the use of GenAI will diminishstudents’ critical thinking skills,including 66% who think GenAI of the faculty in this surveysaid GenAI’s impact will be toincreasestudents’ overreliance onthese artificial intelligence tools, said the use of GenAI will decrease student attention spans,including 62% who thought GenAI said cheating on their campus hasincreasedsince GenAI tools havebecome widely available, including 57%who sai
