In this episode, Annette Q. Pedersen and Stine Degerbøl walk us through the results of a student survey conducted as part of the CUTIE project at the University of Copenhagen in spring 2024. Through their reflective and evidence-based dialogue, we learn:

• Why assumptions about “everyone” or “no one” using AI are misleading—and how student practices vary widely even within the same faculty.

• How concerns about real learning, ethics, climate impact and academic values shape students’ choices around AI use.

• That while generative AI is seen as a tool for efficiency and support, many students remain uncertain about whether it actually helps them learn.

• How fear of accidental cheating and poor-quality outputs influence student behavior more than opportunism.

• And crucially, that students are calling for more dialogue, guidance, and literacy development—not silence or top-down bans.

This episode highlights the importance of listening deeply to student voices—not just as data points, but as thoughtful, critical stakeholders in the future of higher education. It also reminds us that developing digital teaching competence means engaging with uncertainty—and doing so together.
